How to create a page about my company
I just created a new account with you. I already wrote an article about my company, but it says that this article may not conform with Wikipedia guidelines. Can you please help me on how to create a page about my company?

 * There are a few pages you need to read. First, is your company notable in Wikipedia's terms (roughly speaking, do multiple independent sources regard your company as worth writing about), see WP:NOTABLE.  Second, you must declare a conflict of interest, see WP:COI.  Finally you must declare paid editing, see WP:PAID.  Failure to follow any one of these may result in the article being deleted with a consequent waste of everyone's time.
 * One other point: please sign edits on talk pages by adding four tildes ( ~ ) to the end. Martin of Sheffield (talk) 07:54, 15 May 2019 (UTC)


 * Yet another point, . If at some point Wikipedia has an article about your company, it will not be your article, you will not control its contents, you will be discouraged from editing it directly (though you will be welcome to suggest edits) and almost 100% of the article should be derived not from you or the company, but from what people who have no connection to the company have chosen to publish about it. Promotion of any kind is forbidden on Wikipedia. --ColinFine (talk) 15:42, 15 May 2019 (UTC)

Article contains content like an advert - help please
Hi and I am working on a Wiki page that has a top banner error message -

Kunal Jaisingh protected for administrator
Hey, any admin here? there is this article Kunal Jaisingh I was searching for him today to add to check about his marriage is updated or not, but it turned out that he doesn't even have the article, Can any admin unprotect it so that someone else can create He's one notable and passes all the criteria to have an Article, here are some References 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 all these references are about his just marriage if you google him you will get to know who he is. --WikiLover97 (talk) 14:19, 15 May 2019 (UTC)

Good article
How do I create a good article? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Papi Paul Poeme (talk • contribs) 11:55, 15 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Hi, ! Creating a good article from scratch is a worthy goal, but it's a huge undertaking for a new user. Start learning Wikipedia policy and make hundreds of small improvements to current articles first. Keep an eye on the changes you make to see how other editors react -- do they revert your edits? If so, learn the policy behind those reverts. Once you feel you thoroughly understand how to edit, keep an eye out for articles that seem to be missing -- redlinks are a good clue -- and that interest you. Then start writing the article in your sandbox, and when you get it to the best you can, ask another experienced editor to take a look and give you some feedback. When it's ready, move it to draft space and submit it to Articles for Creation. Once it's undergone that process, you can start trying to make sure it fits all the good article criteria, and then you can submit it for Good Article review. One way to get started on this process is to take the The_Wikipedia_Adventure new user tutorial. --valereee (talk) 13:45, 15 May 2019 (UTC)


 * A very basic must is picking a subject covered in plenty of reliable sources, see WP:GNG. If you pick a subject without coverage in reliable sources, you can't write an article about it on WP, good or otherwise. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 14:39, 15 May 2019 (UTC)

To date, your edits have been making a small change in an article, and then a few minutes later changing it back. If you want to experiment, copy content into your Sandbox and practice there. P.S. Administrators do not get paid for being administrators. David notMD (talk) 18:04, 15 May 2019 (UTC)

Capitalization
There are 2 articles on proper capitalization on Wikipedia and they say opposite things. One is here and the other is here. Which is correct and who is supposed to keep it consistent? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Zimm82 (talk • contribs)
 * Hi Zimm82, welcome to the Teahouse. In which way are they opposite? Are you trying to apply them to a specific case? Note that the first is about titles of external works mentioned by Wikipedia, e.g. books and films, while the other is about titles of Wikipedia articles. The rules are deliberately different for some things. PrimeHunter (talk) 01:21, 13 May 2019 (UTC)
 * I see you moved Criticism of United States foreign policy to Criticism of United States Foreign Policy. The sentence case rule for articles titles applies here so I have reverted the move. If the article had been about a specific book called "Criticism of United States Foreign Policy" then your move would have been correct. PrimeHunter (talk) 01:35, 13 May 2019 (UTC)

The video in the "casualties" section of "war on terror" here is an illegal leak from the US defense department. I'm sure there isn't a valid license for the copyright from the department of defense who is probably the legal owner of the video. I'm not sure where it's hosted but it should probably be deleted for copyright violation. I was going to ask on the talk page but so far no one has responded. I also don't know for a fact that the department of defense is the owner of the video but it probably is. Zimm82 (talk) 19:10, 15 May 2019 (UTC)
 * If the material was created by a federal employee as part of their duties—which it was—then it's uncopyrightable under US law. Whether the material in question is subsequently leaked has no bearing on its copyright status. There's a brief primer on why copyright isn't a factor when it comes to Wikileaks disseminating leaked US material here. &#8209; Iridescent 19:17, 15 May 2019 (UTC)

RFC help
Talk:Falun_Gong

I have added an RFC twice and it has been removed twice. I have read and re-read the RFC rules and cannot understand what I am doing wrong. can someone please tell me how i am not formatting it correctly? 175.36.91.0 (talk) 07:36, 15 May 2019 (UTC)
 * In, you did not add a RfC category to the tag, nor was there any statement between the  tag and the timestamp. Both of these are required by WP:RFCST, and their omission had.
 * In, you again omitted category and statement; and also omitted a timestamp. The omission of all three had.
 * You have now made, and whilst this one has categories (some people might consider four to be excessive, but we'll let it pass) and a statement, it lacks a timestamp (with ) and also violates WP:RFCBRIEF in that it contains a table. -- Red rose64 &#x1f339; (talk) 14:50, 15 May 2019 (UTC)
 * can you all give an example of one that you personally will find acceptable and agree on the format? There is no single agreed on format and I have seen my previously used formats used without objection before. I used the exact one from the talk:Santa Claus which you have not objected to. orders of magnitude. by this i mean, 60 000= 6*10^4 and 100 million= 1*10^8. its a way of comparing values. you write it in scientific notation format then compare the exponents. in this case 8-4=4. 4 orders of magnitude.
 * 175.36.91.0 (talk) 16:20, 15 May 2019 (UTC)
 * It's not a case of me finding it acceptable. The RfC listings are maintained by, which cannot handle certain kinds of misformatting. I didn't object to Talk:Santa Claus because Legobot let its opening statement through without a problem, and that in turn was because included a strategically-placed tiomestamp, before all the complex stuff began. You didn't include a timestamp, and so you didn't use the exact format. Also, I don't see what orders of magnitude have to do with anything.
 * Have a look at WP:RFC/A: the ones with text after the heading are the ones that made it through Legobot's processing. The best are the ones where the statement is neutral and brief and do not use excessive formatting like tables (which always break the listing), lists and references. -- Red rose64 &#x1f339; (talk) 18:56, 15 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Note that this appears to be a banned user; am leaving a message on ANI to sort it out. Cleopatran Apocalypse (talk) 19:32, 15 May 2019 (UTC)
 * In case requests for help with formatting RFCs are common here at the Teahouse, the hosts might like to know that Requests for comment/Example formatting has the instructions for multiple formatting options. The table approach is definitely the pickiest about its formatting (but particularly useful when two editors want "their" argument to be The One™ at the top of the RFC section).  Most people are best off with the simplest and most popular option (which is the first one on the page).  WhatamIdoing (talk) 01:00, 16 May 2019 (UTC)

Nintendo System Photographing
Is it allowed on Wikipedia for anyone to take a picture of a Nintendo system they own and use it as the photo on its wikiLBDCOM12 (talk) 19:58, 10 May 2019 (UTC) page?
 * yes. SSSB (talk) 20:16, 10 May 2019 (UTC)
 * . I'm going to differ from what posted and say "maybe" because proper image use on Wikipedia is often quite complicated. There may be copyright issues involved when it comes to taking a photo of something created by someone else and physically owning the object (even if you purchased it) doesn't necessarily mean that you own the copyright on it. For example, purchasing a Nintendo game cartridge gives you ownership over the actual plastic cartridge itself, but not ownership over the intellectual or creative content of the game; for example, you don't own the in-game imagery or computer code which makes it a game, or the imagery that appears on the cartridge's packaging. There are actually some countries (the United States is one) where things such as as  toys or product packaging are considered to be eligible for copyright protection.Wikipedia's and Wikimedia Common's licensing requirements pretty much require that any image files uploaded for use in articles be 100% freely licensed without any restrictions (see Wikipedia:Copyrights and c:Commons:Licensing for more on this), but basically you cannot upload someone else's copyrighted content without their explicit consent to do so. Wikipedia does, unlike Wikimedia Commons, allow copyrighted content to be uploaded as non-free content, but there are lots of restrictions placed on how it can be used.Now, even if there are no copyright issues which need to be dealt with, there still may be contextual or editorial issues which need to be resolved. So, whether the photo should then be added to a Wikipedia article is a different question which might be unrelated to its copyright status. For example, there may already be a sufficient number of photos used in the article and other editors might think that adding another one is not an improvement; moreover, if you remove an existing photo just to add your photo, then that might unintentionally lead to the deletion of the other image. So, like adding textual content, trying to add images to articles can lead to disagreements over content and you may need to establish a consensus to make such an addition per Wikipedia:Dispute resolution. -- Marchjuly (talk) 22:02, 10 May 2019 (UTC)

I wanted to just change the picture on the New Nintendo 2ds Xl's page, because the current one is poor quality. Would that be allowed?LBDCOM12 (talk) 15:18, 13 May 2019 (UTC)

I would have instead uploaded the image to replace the old image, but you'll be notified if there are any issues. TimTempleton (talk)  (cont)  01:04, 16 May 2019 (UTC)

Not getting notifications from starred article on a talk page

You may have it set to not display pages in the "User talk" namespace. Just a guess, but that's all anyone can do as your Watchlist is one thing here that is private.

Opinions needed on editing the Hydrogen Water page
Hydrogen Water is a relatively new beverage that I've been drinking due to the scientific research that has been reported on it (over 1200 published articles and studies). It is a beverage that contains water and molecular hydrogen gas. Same idea as a soda or sparkling beverage which in their case contain CO2 gas. At first glance, the Hydrogen Water page looks pretty bland with negative connotation throughout it. They reference a quote "There is little evidence, and no scientific proof of its efficacy" that isn't in the articles they reference. In an effort to better inform readers of its scientific efficacy and scientific research, I tried submitting actual medical articles like this one which summarized 321 articles on molecular hydrogen as well as many others. One of the section titles is called "Health Claims" which in itself comes off as negative. But if you look at the page for Cannabidiol, you'll notice how much positive connotation is used. For example, they reference preliminary studies on anxiety, cognition, movement disorders, and pain. Even though the FDA has only approved CBD to be used for 2 epileptic disorders while the FDA has approved hydrogen water completely safe for consumption, they get to use section titles such as "Potential Interactions". In an effort to have a discussion on talk:Hydrogen Water, the author (MrX) wouldn't allow the page to include any of the medical studies that I suggested saying the sample sizes were too small or that the study was discussing molecular hydrogen and not hydrogen water. Molecular hydrogen is the main ingredient within hydrogen water (hence the name). Molecular hydrogen can be administered in many ways: inhalation, hydrogen water, an iv solution, etc... You can read about this in the H2 DELIVERY MECHANISMS section of this research article. I even sent studies that were only on hydrogen water since that was at least something he seemed to be interested in but none were eventually used. The cannabidiol page got to reference studies with small sample sizes with conclusions that asked for more research just like some of studies on hydrogen water but they get to be referenced and the ones on hydrogen water don't. MrX also said that he referenced the third party articles, which were misquoted by the way, because he said it's easier to use their opinion since they do all of the work for him... So I tried submitting multiple third party articles that were more informative to hydrogen water's benefits. One, as you'll see, seemed to be incentivising a certain product that I didn't notice so I said "my bad" and sent another one. MrX stopped responding and hasn't allowed any changes. Am I off base? Please be honest. This whole thing isn't about my opinion on the subject at all. Everything that was stated was properly linked to the National Center for Biotechnology Information which is where anything and everything scientific is published yet still I was shut down. Morphin2020 (talk) 20:33, 15 May 2019 (UTC)
 * You're better off discussing on the talk page. It doesn't help optics that there are several brand new WP:SPA accounts supporting your position - it only makes it look like WP:SOCK. We like to assume good faith, but being a new account, it gives the appearance that you might have a financial stake in promoting hydrogen water. I also agree with the advice given on User_talk:MrX.  FWIW - the nih.gov article you linked to only suggests that hydrogen is beneficial - but not in the context of being infused in water. TimTempleton (talk)  (cont)  22:46, 15 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Sourcing for claims of health benefits for food products falls under WP:MEDRS. Articles in that area are some of the most difficult to edit in all of Wikipedia. I'd suggest making requests on the talk page and maybe suggesting sources to back your points, but leaving the editing to more experienced editors. There are even legal implications for making inadequately sourced claims about food products. Tread lightly. John from Idegon (talk) 02:40, 16 May 2019 (UTC)

At the Talk page I listed refs for four clinical trials and three reviews for hydrogen water. The latter may be appropriate refs for this article. CBD is not a good model, because there too, the claims have gotten way ahead of the science. The FDA and FTC have taken actions against some of the CBD companies.

Remove and replace photo on my Wikipedia Page

 * It's not difficult to replace an image with a new one but first let's see the problem. What is the picture, and where is it used? There is no picture at all in Allan Katz, and I see no picture of someone mistakenly identified as Alda in Alan Alda or in M*A*S*H (TV series). Meters (talk) 02:15, 16 May 2019 (UTC)
 * There are some basic instructions on how ot upload images at Help:Contents, assuming you own the copyright to the image in question. Meters (talk) 02:18, 16 May 2019 (UTC)
 * You're probably referring to the picture Google pairs with an excerpt from the Wikipedia article. We have no control over what Google puts in their "knowledge panels".

 * Google might be pulling that image from http://cinepartners.net/allan-katz-head-of-development/ Meters (talk) 02:28, 16 May 2019 (UTC)
 * A few other points: first, we have no way to know you are who you say you are. The reason for that should be clear and just as clearly we cannot take your word for it. Second, the encyclopedia article about you is NOT "your page". It is a tertiary encyclopedia article about you. You (assuming you are who you claim to be only for the sake of discussion) have no control whatsoever over its content. Last, simply possessing a photo does not give you ownership of the rights to it. For you to have copyright on a picture of yourself, it must either be a selfie, or you must posses (and share with Wikipedia Commons) a legally valid contract transferring the copyright to you. Copyright belongs to the photographer not the subject. John from Idegon (talk) 02:30, 16 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Welcome to the Teahouse, Allan Katz. I am assuming that you are who you say you are for the sake of this discussion. The problem originates with Google but the lack of a photo of you on Wikipedia exacerbates the problem. Yes, you have a conflict of interest regarding the Wikipedia biography of you, but on the other hand, adding high quality images is universally seen as an improvement of the encyclopedia. If you are at all competent as a photographer (it isn't difficult), then take a high quality selfie and upload it to our sister project Wikimedia Commons. It can then be added to your Wikipedia biography, and Google's spiders will find it in short order, and start displaying it in your Google Knowledge Panel.

 * Everyone interested should read Knowledge Graph which describes this Google feature. Cullen328  Let's discuss it  04:51, 16 May 2019 (UTC)

One of its requirements is that all significant facts be sourced by inline citations yet there are whole sections with no sources at all. Not even going to suggest I'm capable of understanding the philosophy topics being discussed, but in comparison to other biographies, it seems unnecessarily long. Encyclopedia articles are supposed to summarize what others have written about the subject. That by definition means being concise. rchard2scout (talk) 02:50, 16 May 2019 (UTC)

Danni Nicholls - Cleaning Up Issues
Hello I have set up a Wikipedia page on behalf of a singer/songwriter, there have been many edits made by others, all seems to be in order but I do not know how to clean the page up and remove the issue alerts. Can anyone explain in clear terms how to do it or do it on my behalf?

Many thanks

 * The fact that you've stated that you're her management means you have a Conflict of Interest and should not be editing the article. Please read WP:COI, it will explain the what and why. I'm also going to have to attach a COI alert to the article. - X201 (talk) 12:06, 16 May 2019 (UTC)

Help with article
How could I improve my article, Schwab and England ADL scale? Also, why did I not have to “submit” the article in order for it to be created? I am not autopatrolled. ⠀—‌‌ '''[[User:Glosome|<span style="background-color:

 * You've made enough edits and have been on Wikipedia long enough so that your articles can be placed directly into namespace rather than requiring submission in AFC. It will still need to be patrolled before it will show up in Google searches, but it seems worthy of inclusion. I made a few improvements.
