Can we have a page for Soul Joel Comedian? There are various other entertainers that have a page. Please let me know!

Thank you!

 * You can add the name to Requested articles, although be warned that that page has years worth of backlog. If you think Joel is notable, though (i.e. he has been covered in multiple reliable sources, such as newspapers or magazines), you can be bold and create the article yourself.

Images from a webiste
I asked this question on another page and got no response so I though I would try here.

Hi. I was wondering if I could upload images from a website under these terms and conditions as non free images. The photos cannot be replaced as the sight is now buried making it impossible for me to take my own photos of it. There are schematics of the site and some historical artwork that I would like to us as well. The images come from this page in the website and are located towards the bottom of it. If the sight is ever excavated I would simply take my own and use those. Cheers. ***Adam*** (talk) 01:19, 23 October 2009 (UTC)


 * No, you can't use them. As the page says, they can be used only for "personal, in-house or non-commercial use". Images uploaded here (unless they are fair use) or at Commons must be free, and that means they should be able to be used for commercial purposes as well. Our policy is that there can be no "restrictions on the right to redistribute, study, modify and improve, and otherwise use the works for any purpose in any medium, even commercially". See Non-free content. ≈ Chamal talk ¤ 02:06, 23 October 2009 (UTC)
 * I apologize if I am misinterpreting the Fair-use guidelines, but it seems I have to disagree. WP:FUI clearly states that images "...with iconic status or historical importance: As subjects of commentary." and which cannot reasonably be replaced with a free images are acceptable. Likewise, WP:FUI states that "There are some works, such as important photographs, significant modern artworks, that we cannot realistically expect to be released under a free content license, but that are hard to discuss in an educational context without including examples from the media itself.", and on meta:Images on Wikipedia, it is stated clearly that on en.wikipedia, images under the category "N[on]C[ommercial]/Permission" can be used as fair use. Intelligent  sium  review 02:26, 23 October 2009 (UTC)
 * My apologies; I've misread the question. I thought Adam was asking about uploading them as free images. As Intelligentsium says, such images can be uploaded as fair use images. I'm not sure if the images in that website have a historical value that would justify using them as fair use though. Can't a photograph of these places and objects be obtained by anyone? ≈ Chamal talk ¤ 02:37, 23 October 2009 (UTC)

Hi, thanks for your comments. At present it is physically impossible to go out there and take photos as the sight has been buried under a soccer field. The pictures that I would like to use are of the excavation of the sight. Soon after the sight was dug up it was buried once again. There are some plans that were drawn up of the sight as well that I would like to use in the article. ***Adam*** (talk) 05:36, 23 October 2009 (UTC)

Hi,

I work for an organization that does not have a Wiki page yet. I tried submitting entries about the owner and the company itself but then again, they always get deleted even after editing the page.

Any advice?

Thanks —Preceding unsigned comment added by 202.138.169.172 (talk) 02:34, 23 October 2009 (UTC)


 * The best advise is not to edit pages about your own self or company. When writing an article about your own company, it's very easy to insert your own bias into the article, making it come off as an advertisement, which will lead to its deletion. Additionally, it's very easy to overlook the fact that your company doesn't pass Wikipedia's notability guideline (if that's the case). If the company is truly notable, someone else will probably write about it in time. If you choose to disregard everything I've written up to this point, the best additional advise is to find reliable sources (usually newspaper or magazine articles) that discuss the company in detail, and write the article based on what a person could read from those sources. If an article on a company doesn't cite any such sources, and no one else can find any, it is very likely to be deleted. Someguy1221 (talk) 02:38, 23 October 2009 (UTC)


 * What is the reason given for it being deleted? Obviously that reason is what should be addressed. Bus stop (talk) 02:45, 23 October 2009 (UTC)

archive bot
Would someone please have a quick look at this User_talk:Sir_Floyd archive bot I added for a User, it appears to be archiving itself? Off2riorob (talk) 03:45, 23 October 2009 (UTC)
 * I think that was because the bot archiving instructions were under a level 2 header, so the bot simply then regarded it as part of a conversation thread that needed to be archived. Looking at the bot's instruction page, its default setting is not to archive anything before a level 2 header, but everything thereafter if more than x hours old; at present, the conversation before the "Extra work on an article" header (the first level 2 header on the page) will not be archived.

 * Before creating an article, please search Wikipedia first to make sure that an article does not already exist on the subject. Please also review a few of our relevant policies and guidelines with which all articles should comply. As Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, articles must not contain original research, must be written from a neutral point of view, should cite reliable sources which verify their content and must not contain unsourced, negative content about living people.


 * Articles must also demonstrate the notability of the subject. Please see our subject specific guidelines for people, bands and musicians, companies and organizations and web content and note that if you are closely associated with the subject, our conflict of interest guideline strongly recommends against you creating the article.


 * If you still think an article is appropriate, see Your first article. You might also look at How to write a great article for guidance, and please consider taking a tour through the Tutorial so that you know how to properly format the article before creation. An Article Wizard is available to walk you through creating an article. TN X Man  13:20, 23 October 2009 (UTC)


 * First, you must upload the file trough WP:UPLOAD. Note that this may NOT be a copyrighted work incompatile with usage permitted under CC-BY-SA 3.0.

New page question
I recently began a page entitled Muqaddimah ibn al-Salah - Introduction to the Science of Hadith which can be found via links, but does not show up entering it into the box above and pressing go. In fact, it does not even show up in a search. Did I do something wrong (apart from the possible mistake of naming an article by a transliterated title or giving it such a long title). Thanks.

 * Perhaps there is something wrong with my computer? I actually cut and pasted the entire title and still nothing... strange. Supertouch (talk) 16:13, 23 October 2009 (UTC)


 * Does the search work if you try looking for another page?

 * A server purge wouldn't hurt either. – ukexpat (talk) 16:52, 23 October 2009 (UTC)


 * The "Go" button works for me but "Search" does not. This is a sign that Wikipedia's search function has not indexed the page yet - at least not for me. It can take a few days. The "Go" button should work right away but only if you enter the full exact title (except capitalization can be different) "Muqaddimah ibn al-Salah - Introduction to the Science of Hadith".

Harriet Christian
The above article was newly created a few minutes ago, and after cleaning it up and referencing it i find myself unable to determine what to do with it. The article seems to meet notability guidelines due to coverage, which means that i can also verify the claims made.

However at the same time i wonder if this article is warranted trough WP:BLP1E and WP:NOTNEWS. Part of me think the event is only so marginally notable this does in no way warrant a biographical article. Another option would to integrate this 2008 Democratic National Convention but this sounds so frivolous in relation to that article that i keep wondering if this should simply be removed - yet the coverage is much more extensive then anything some of the half-baked bands need for an article. Any thoughts on wether this should be kept, changed, or just AFD'ed? Excirial ( Contact me, Contribs ) 16:10, 23 October 2009 (UTC)

Hiding the references
I vaguely remember seeing pages with tons of cited references that have compressed or collapsed the references so that the page isn't ridiculously long. Most clearly in my mind is a section that displays only a small part of the references but can be scrolled up and down to see the rest, although I suspect that I've seen a collapsible reference section. How is this done? Nyttend (talk) 18:32, 23 October 2009 (UTC)
 * I've seen that used on wikia sites, but never on wikipedia, I don't think its done here. Cheers SpitfireTally-ho! 18:37, 23 October 2009 (UTC)


 * It could be accomplished using Collapse top and Collapse bottom, though any such change would need to be supported by consensus and also the Manual of Style. The solution I've given actually causes more problems than it solves, as ref links are broken while the list is collapsed.  AJ  Cham  18:47, 23 October 2009 (UTC)


 * If you mean something like WP:SDYK, then the answer is that doing so is against the MOS, and deprecated, per WP:NOTPAPER. Mjroots (talk) 20:22, 23 October 2009 (UTC)


 * The applicable guidelines are at Manual of Style and Accessibility. The links between the inline cite and the reference do not work with a collapsed box. You can hide the reference list with User:Drilnoth/hiderefs.js, fold it with User:TheDJ/foldrefs.js or remove it altogether with some CSS. I fail to imagine that a long reference list is really a problem. ---— Gadget850 (Ed)  talk 20:33, 23 October 2009 (UTC)
 * I'm asking because of this page in my userspace: I'm copying individual lines — most of which have references — from many tables, and although the page isn't much more than half complete, the references section is getting absurdly long. I know that I could delete the references, but I've kept them because the page is meant to keep track of the state of the original tables, and deleting the references would make it harder to keep track.  Since I don't plan to move this list into mainspace, I don't care about the MOS, and breaking ref links really doesn't matter to me here.  Nyttend (talk) 23:24, 23 October 2009 (UTC)
 * I've used the collapse templates, and all works fine. Thanks!  Nyttend (talk) 23:27, 23 October 2009 (UTC)

Main page
I am working on a grouping of articles which are very intertwined. They are separate pages for the obvious reason of brevity, however, due to this there is repetetion on some of these pages. I am working if, as perhaps a temporary quick fix if there is a precedent for cutting and pasting the intro paragraph of a page being introduced on one page as a heading (and referred to as Main page)? I suppose it would be better to at least rephrase the intro paragraphs as necessary...??? I think I may have just answered my own question, but I am still interested in hearing any responses. Supertouch (talk) 18:35, 23 October 2009 (UTC)


 * There is a template called main that adds a discrete little header. You can see it in use in today's featured article here.  Use this at the top of section that is a summary of a longer and more detailed article.  Also see WP:SUMMARY for what to do with these intro paragraphs and summary sections.  Hope this helps. &mdash;Akrabbimtalk 19:00, 23 October 2009 (UTC)


 * The best solution always depends upon the situation; Since i don't know the situation here are some general examples.


 * One solution is to simply link an article in case an explanation is needed. For example: "NTFS is the standard file system of Windows NT". If a user doesn't know anything about a file system they can check the respective topic by clicking the link.
 * A second solution is to create the main / sub article structure. For example, take the World War II article. The section named background gives sufficient information to understand the topic, but doesn't give each and every detail as that is not relevant in this case. Instead, it points the user to Causes of World War II for a more extensive analysis. Note that this is only done because the discussion is notable as a separate topic.
 * The last is not a solution, but a self check. Did you really create a correct article grouping? If a (Very) large section of an article is little more then a copy of another topic's information it is often better to merge the two articles.
 * Hope this helps. Excirial ( Contact me, Contribs ) 19:09, 23 October 2009 (UTC)


 * I appreciate the comments, the link to WP:SUMMARY was helpful. I still have two specific questions that I don't see answered on that page.


 * 1) Regarding references: If I am summarizing a well-referenced main page, must I mention those references from the main page in the summary? The difficulty I am having is that it is somewhat difficult to add references to general concepts that may be the product of numerous sources. It seems that linking to the main page would be sufficient - as a "summary" suggests that the nuts and bolts research will be found on that main page.
 * 2) I suppose this question is at least somewhat born of laziness on my part. If the introduction (whether a paragraph or more) would be an appropriate summary (which is what an intro is in reality) can we simply copy that intro from the main page and paste in the place of the summary. It seems that this would not constitute "theft" as this would be rather obvious to the reader. Supertouch (talk) 23:22, 24 October 2009 (UTC)

 * Probably that Wikipedia is not a collection of indiscriminate information. TN X Man  23:38, 23 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Yes, I've had a good look through WP:ISNOT and I think that probably covers it. Thanks very much. Dmcq (talk) 10:19, 24 October 2009 (UTC)

Caps usernames
To log in (with the "new" JavaScript event, even when using auto-complete), I need to use FireBug or a similar tool to reference the username input by ID and then edit the value (without triggering the event that turns it all to lower-case). If I don't do this, it will instead try to log me into the non-existent account "score under" instead of "Score_Under" (as the JavaScript event transforms the text to lower-case).

 * I don't know what this new JavaScript event is and I have not heard of others with problems in usernames with capitals. I never have problems. If your browser autocompletes a username without capitals then maybe you can edit the username before clicking Log in. PrimeHunter (talk) 01:11, 24 October 2009 (UTC)
