Norms at English Wikipedia
Hi Wname1, a brief follow-up to your post. I see you're a relative newcomer to English Wikipedia. Welcome. We try (and often fail) to be inviting to new users. I realize there's a lot to learn. This project is collaborative by design, and is "governed" by rules and norms that its editors have adopted by discussion and consensus. I've seen several new editors have rocky starts here, as you now have. Some adjust their attitudes; when their contributions are reverted they think "oops, I misunderstood. Let me try to understand the rules and norms here so I can be helpful." Their rocky starts are soon forgotten. Others are self-righteous and combative, thinking "these stupid asses don't understand what I'm trying to do!". They eventually leave in frustration, or are blocked to prevent disruption to the project. Now I'm glad to see a new editor with an interest in medicine. We need all the help we can get. So I hope you're able to take the feedback you've received here and at various talk pages to heart, lay off the revert button, and start contributing in a more productive way. As always, if you have questions I'd suggest you continue to ask at WP:TEAHOUSE (you're welcome to ask at my talk page, but I'm sometimes offline for days at a time and can't promise a prompt response). I hope you're staying well. Ajpolino (talk) 22:42, 16 January 2021 (UTC)

Start a new section at Teahouse
You asked a new question at Teahouse, but as a continuation of your days-old initial question. I suggest asking as a new section, as Teahouse hosts do not always look back at older queries to see if there are new comments. David notMD (talk) 12:42, 2 July 2021 (UTC)

Your submission at Articles for creation: Landsmannschaft Zaringia Heidelberg has been accepted
 Landsmannschaft Zaringia Heidelberg, which you submitted to Articles for creation, has been created.

Congratulations, and thank you for helping expand the scope of Wikipedia! We hope you will continue making quality contributions.

The article has been assessed as Stub-Class, which is recorded on its talk page. It is commonplace for new articles to start out as stubs and then attain higher grades as they develop over time. You may like to take a look at the grading scheme to see how you can improve the article.

Since you have made at least 10 edits over more than four days, you can now create articles yourself without posting a request. However, you may continue submitting work to Articles for creation if you prefer.

If you have any questions, you are welcome to ask at the  [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:WikiProject_Articles_for_creation/Help_desk&action=edit&section=new&nosummary=1&preload=Template:AfC_talk/HD_preload&preloadparams%5B%5D=Landsmannschaft_Zaringia_Heidelberg help desk] . Once you have made at least 10 edits and had an account for at least four days, you will have the option to create articles yourself without posting a request to Articles for creation.

If you would like to help us improve this process, please consider.

Thanks again, and happy editing!  DGG ( talk ) 07:18, 3 July 2021 (UTC)

Playing videos from DVD on local computer
Hi Wname1

I've moved to answer your latest Teahouse question here rather than there as the answer probably won't be of general interest. Fundamentally, the playing of videos depends on the format they are stored in: this should be clear from the file extension. For example, the section you uploaded to Commons was in .webM format (see commons:Help:Converting_video for some of the technical stuff related to that). Most modern digital cameras output their videos as .MOV files and .mp4 is another well-known format. So, assuming you are running Windows or a similar operating system on your PC, try right-clicking on the file and seeing what options are available to open it. There may not be any if the original file is in an obscure format. My recommendation in that case would be that you download and install VLC media player from this website, choosing whichever version fits your hardware. This program is open-source and is great for playing almost any type of video. If that fails, reply in this thread to let me know what the file extension is and I'll try to help further. Best of luck! Mike Turnbull (talk) 12:45, 25 July 2021 (UTC)


 * Hi Point 1: It is very good that we are now talking on my User: Wname1 page. Point 2: The version you know is only 1 min 15s. Point 3: I want to show the complete video which is a total of 07:05 minutes. Point 4: I had already tried it (the complete video) with VLC today before you wrote on my User talk: Wname1 page, but unfortunately it doesn't work on VLC. Best regards, Wname1 (talk) 17:15, 25 July 2021 (UTC)
 * If you just want to upload here to Wikipedia the complete 7-minute video, all you need to do it overwrite the file you have already uploaded with the new version, using whatever method you previously used to get it into Wikipedia's .webm format. So, on the Commons page commons:File:VTS_01_2.webm just go to the "File history" section where it says "Upload a new version of this file" and follow the instructions after clicking on the link. This will overwrite the existing file with the larger new file. Just like editing any other Wiki page, the old version will still exist and can be reverted to if anything goes wrong. I hope this is all the information you need, but if not just continue to ask me about it here. Mike Turnbull (talk) 10:04, 26 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Hello In my PC I have the DVD video of 7 minutes. I entered the video on the Upload warning page, then Source file, and then on the Source filename: page. Unfortunately I received this information: "File extension .webm does not match the detected MIME type of the file (unknown / unknown)". The name of my 7 minute video is "IFO Other File (VLC) (.IFO)" . Unfortunately, it does not work to display this on the "Upload file" page. You may know the solution? Have a nice day. Wname1 (talk) 08:44, 28 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Yes, an .ifo file is just a standard file which tells the DVD player how to use the other files on the disc. The "ifo" just stands for "information" and will be a small file. The main video will be held in one or more ".vob" files. There is a Wikipedia article on VOB which is a discussion of all this. You ought to be able to use your local VLC program to convert these files to .webm format. Or try one of the online converters such as this. The important point is that the video must have the .webm file extension to be uploaded to replace the one you already put on Commons. Mike Turnbull (talk) 10:28, 28 July 2021 (UTC)
 * The full video is 151MB and currently a MP4-Video (.mp4). Maximum file size: 100 MB (your chosen file from your computer). This is written on the "Upload file" page. Wname1 (talk) 13:39, 28 July 2021 (UTC)
 * OK. I wasn't aware of the maximum filesize limits on uploads to Commons. As you original file is already over 67 Mb, I don't think there is anything you can do about this, except perhaps choosing a different excerpt from the full video to better illustrate the fight. If I were you I think I would give up without making any further changes! Mike Turnbull (talk) 15:54, 28 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Very nice of you, maybe don't do anything new to these historical videos, let's see. What is your opinion for this start on this page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Brexit . Wname1 (talk) 17:45, 28 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Basically, I wouldn't touch that with a barge pole! .... Especially if you are not from the UK. Mike Turnbull (talk) 11:59, 29 July 2021 (UTC)
 * I can understand what you wrote, but what I wrote is true. Best regards, Wname1 (talk) 16:49, 29 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Many (especially new) readers/editors find it surprising that Wikipedia doesn't value truth nearly as much as it values verifiability but that's how it is here. Mike Turnbull (talk) 17:06, 29 July 2021 (UTC)
 * From my little experience, the english wikipedia is very good compared to other languages and my text about "Before Brexit" is true and correct :) Wname1 (talk) 17:33, 29 July 2021 (UTC)

Providing copy/translate attribution is part of the Terms of Use and is required
I noticed this comment of yours at WT:WikiProject Medicine. It looks like your creation of the French article fr:Neuro-oncologie is an unattributed translation of the German article. I notice that you also contribute to Italian, English, and other Wikipedias. According to Wikimedia's Terms of Use, you may copy or translate content from other Wikimedia projects or compatibly licensed sources, but you *must* provide attribution to the authors of the original article. At English Wikipedia, the editing guideline WP:Copying within Wikipedia suggests how to comply with this licensing requirement. In the case of translated content added to en-wiki, please follow WP:TFOLWP, and add the following statement to your edit summary in which you add content translated from French Wikipedia to English Wikipedia:

Other Wikipedias have different guidelines and suggestions on exactly how best to comply, but all Wikipedias are subject to the Wikimedia Terms of Use, which is a policy with legal implications; it is non-negotiable and may not be ignored, regardless in what Wikipedia language you happen to be editing. Please do not add further translated content from other Wikimedia projects to any article in any language Wikipedia without complying with the guidelines on how to comply with licensing requirements. One way to do this is to provide a valid attribution statement including a link to the source article in the edit summary. See the copying guideline at individual Wikipedias for guidance on what wording to use: In the case of your numerous unattributed translations of content from the German article de:Neuroonkologie to the French article fr:Neuro-oncologie I've supplied the missing attribution to the French article for you (here). There are other ways to do it; please see the French guidelines for details. For all of your previous translations of content from any language to any other language Wikipedia that are missing an attribution statement, you must go back and fix them, by adding attribution to the target article containing the translation; you may follow the model I used at the French neuro-oncology article, or the guidelines of the Wikipedia of the target article. Thanks, Mathglot (talk) 18:19, 9 May 2022 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Cordless Larry. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Neuro-oncology, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at referencing for beginners. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Cordless Larry (talk) 10:46, 12 February 2023 (UTC)

Sourcing at neuro-oncology
Hello, Wname1. Please note that I've reverted 7kb of content you recently added to Neuro-oncology in this edit. Although you included a citation, it appears not to support the added content. I would have assumed you simply included the wrong source by accident, only you reused it four times via named references, so I'm not sure if you meant to use that reference or not. If you find a reference that supports your content, you may add it back. Keep WP:MEDRS in mind when searching for references, as this article topic is subject to the stricter requirements of biomedical sourcing. Thanks, Mathglot (talk) 03:17, 27 April 2023 (UTC)
 * I note now that you also added 32kb of unsourced content in this edit of 19:20, 17 January 2023. This material was later removed in this edit by User:Cordless Larry because it lacked a source; he left you this message above about that removal. And it looks like referencing has been a thorn in your side, ever since July 2021, when David notMD left you this message.
 * You are still fairly new here, but one of the first and most important things to learn at Wikipedia is our policy on WP:Verifiability of content in articles, so please read that and follow the links, especially in sections which talk about citations to reliable sources. Also, it's not enough to just include citations from sources related to the topic you're writing about, the source you cite has to actually back up the specific information you add. (See this discussion for context.) Biomedical topics have even stricter sourcing requirements, so if you want to keep editing articles like Neuro-oncology, after reading those links, you'll need to read WP:MEDRS as well. If you have any questions about this, don't hesitate to Reply below. If you have other questions about editing Wikipedia, feel free to contact me on my Talk page, or you can post your question at the WP:Help desk, where an experienced volunteer will respond. Thanks, Mathglot (talk) 04:31, 27 April 2023 (UTC)
 * I re-read my message, and some of the previous ones, and based on the fact that you are still fairly new, and that English appears not to be your mother tongue, I think some of the messages, mine included, are not getting through to you perhaps because they are worded very gently in a desire to be extra-polite to a new user. I don't wish to abandon politeness, but it is important for you to understand that you cannot keep editing the way you have been, or you risk having your editing privileges suspended at English Wikipedia. You *must* pay more attention to proper referencing of your edits. If you don't understand what this means, or how to do it, please ask for help. If this is not clear, I can write it in German for you. Please reply below, and let me know if you understand this message. Thanks, Mathglot (talk) 04:40, 27 April 2023 (UTC)
