Gehenna Press
Sylvia Plath is mentioned, but misspelled as "Silvia." 2A01:CB1D:8149:A300:2469:ED46:B555:FC9 (talk) 10:03, 28 October 2022 (UTC)
 * It was piped to Silvia from the 'Y' spelling. I have changed it, as not clear what the reason may be; can be restored if necessary. Eagleash (talk) 10:23, 28 October 2022 (UTC)

Watchlist issue
When I warn an editor using Twinkle, that automatically puts the editor on my watchlist. If the editor's account is new to en.wiki, it also shows the account creation on my watchlist. In the case of, I am seeing the entry for my warning at 11:56 today, but I am not seeing the account creation at 11:47. Anyone know why?--Bbb23 (talk) 12:10, 28 October 2022 (UTC)
 * I think it is because the account was originally created on frwiki, thus the log entry reading created automatically. ■ ∃ Madeline ⇔ ∃ Part of me ; 12:20, 28 October 2022 (UTC)
 * And note also Special:CentralAuth/Valentin51000 which may be of interest. Mike Turnbull (talk) 12:23, 28 October 2022 (UTC)
 * So, what you're both saying is that if an account was created earlier on another wiki, it won't show up when it's "created" here. I don't know if the terminology has anything to do with it, but I suppose it was created on fr.wiki but registered here, so no log entry on my watchlist. Just trying to piece this together. I'm sure all this makes total sense to some people, but not much to me. And this isn't purely an academic nit. If I could track an editor's contributions, life would be easier when it comes to monitoring newbie vandals.--Bbb23 (talk) 12:45, 28 October 2022 (UTC)
 * My testing indicates the same. Automatic (originally created at another wiki) and non-automatic user creations are both registered in the page log and look similar, e.g. and . I don't know why the automatic user creations are omitted in the watchlist. I haven't found a Phabricator report about it. PrimeHunter (talk) 14:03, 28 October 2022 (UTC)

Image with non-free use rationale that is actually in the public domain
The image File:Valéry Inkijinoff.jpg has a non-free use rationale. But an identical copy is on Wikimedia Commons, where a suggests that the file is in the public domain. If this is indeed the case, then the following actions should be taken: Brianjd (talk) 12:54, 28 October 2022 (UTC)
 * 1) Restore the original, higher resolution version of this image and transfer it to Commons.
 * 2) Delete the Wikipedia copy.
 * If the Commons file is ultimately kept, then there's no reason to do anything with the local Wikipedia file except to remove it from the article and let it be deleted per WP:F5. The two files have different names and a higher quality version of the image can be uploaded as an updated version of the already existing Commons file. If the Commons file is kept, just replace the current file syntax in Valéry Inkijinoff with the syntax of the Commons file. This will orphan the local non-free file, which means it will end up deleted after seven days have passed since becoming an orphan. If you don't want to wait that long, you can tag the file for speedy deletion per WP:F7 by adding the template rnfu to its page or for speedy deletion per WP:F8 by adding the template Now Commons to its page. The difference in names and the fact that there is already a file on Commons means that transferring the local file to Commons will create a c:COM:Duplicate file; so, one of the two will end up needing to be deleted; so, it's easier just to let the non-free be deleted per F5. -- Marchjuly (talk) 13:58, 28 October 2022 (UTC)


 * I am not sure there are many admins with knowledge of copyright that hang around the Help Desk, so I asked essentially the same question at Media_copyright_questions. Tigraan Click here for my talk page ("private" contact) 13:37, 28 October 2022 (UTC)

CREATE A NEW PAGE
Hi, I'm an interviewer and I want to create a Page for Le Grand Mag Media, which is a COmpany I worked with, I think they need absolutely need a Wikipedia Page also because there are a lot of smaller media company which have it, Can you Guys please tell me what I can and what i can't do while creating a page. I'm asking you this because you already blocked two my account and Iwon't that this will Happen again so please help me to publish this article. Thanks Thomaspasc (talk) 13:20, 28 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Appeal your block in the proper manner. You will not get assistance here while using another account for block evasion. AndyTheGrump (talk) 13:28, 28 October 2022 (UTC)
 * And Wikipedia has no interest at all in whether anybody thinks that they "absolutely need a Wikipedia Page". In fact, nobody in the world - not even Jimmy Wales "has" a Wikipedia page. What we have instead is articles about notable subjects. An article does not belong to its subject, is not controlled by its subject, and is not for the benefit of its subject except incidentally. So anybody's "need" of a Wikipedia article is illusory. ColinFine (talk) 13:39, 28 October 2022 (UTC)
 * @Thomaspasc I suggest you review Blocking policy, especially the section on WP:BLOCKEVASION and then review Appealing a block to learn how to appeal a block. Then I suggest you choose one account, and ask to be unblocked. ~  ONUnicorn (Talk&#124;Contribs) problem solving 13:50, 28 October 2022 (UTC)

Acknowledgment of edition contributor
I see that my edition to the section "research" of the article on TPR Storytelling has been integrated in said article. I did this edition on July 20, 2022 but don't think I created a Wikipedia account then. I just created one. I would like to be able to include this contribution in my C.V. Any suggestions? Thanks!

 * This is difficult, because if it was done from an IP address, it wouldn't be possible to change the edit history to say that user x did it. The edit on 20 July is here.-- ♦Ian Ma c M♦  (talk to me) 17:00, 28 October 2022 (UTC)
 * The only change we could make is to hide the IP address. The edit cannot be reassigned to an account. You can write on User:Aznalcollar that you made the edit but you cannot provide evidence unless you still have the same IP address and write it when you are logged out. An IP address is attached to an Internet connection, not a device, but many IP addresses change frequently. You can see your current IP address and its edits at Special:MyContributions when you are logged out. PrimeHunter (talk) 17:47, 28 October 2022 (UTC)

How do I remove the draft status of an article that has been reviewed?
This article has been reviewed and classified as B-Class, but the draft status hasn't been removed. How do I fix this? DavidDijkgraaf (talk) 22:17, 28 October 2022 (UTC)
 * There is no indication that the article has been through the review process. If it had it would have been moved to mainspace or a decline notice would be displayed. As far as I can tell it is still in the review system. This can take up to 4 months per the information in the review notice. Please be patient. The B-class assessment may be an anomaly by an editor who has 'jumped the gun'. Eagleash (talk) 22:29, 28 October 2022 (UTC)
 * I now see there is discussion at the talk page. Please do not ask for help in multiple locations as this may lead to conflicting information and take up the time of other volunteers. Eagleash (talk) 22:33, 28 October 2022 (UTC)
 * In the circumstances, I have completed the review process. Eagleash (talk) 22:35, 28 October 2022 (UTC)

requesting help with posting caption for a new figure
I added this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Percentange_of_Open_Access_journal_articles_available_from_ACS_(green),_Elsevier_(orange)_and_MDPI_(blue)_vs._the_original_publication_year_accrording_to_Web_Of_Science_on_on_2022-10-28.png figure  to this page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_access, but for some reason I am unable to add the proposed caption "Percentange of Open Access journal articles available from ACS (green), Elsevier (orange) and MDPI (blue) vs. the original publication year accrording to Web Of Science on on 2022-10-28". Can a more experienced editor add the caption? Thank you in advance, Water Tau. Walter Tau (talk) 23:09, 28 October 2022 (UTC)
