Question from Harkelis (05:17, 27 June 2024)[edit]

Do you have any tips for finding information for citations and other edits? --Harkelis (talk) 05:17, 27 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Harkelis: What topic are you wanting to write about? - UtherSRG (talk) 10:50, 27 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I want to edit some local articles from my country Harkelis (talk) 12:39, 1 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It looks like you have plenty of informative links on your talk page now to answer your question. - UtherSRG (talk) 18:08, 1 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

AFD[edit]

Hi, can you please create an AFD for Gazetted officer (India)? The reason is: Not received "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject", hence fails WP:GNG. It violates WP:NOTDIRECTORY as listing all gazetted designations are NOT within the scope of an encyclopedic article as it is not a directory or manual. The article predominantly consists original research, with references that barely support it. Legodesk.com fails WP:RS. Please copy-paste the above. Thank you for the time.--117.230.88.202 (talk) 16:13, 30 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Done - UtherSRG (talk) 16:23, 30 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Wikispecies redirect[edit]

Hi, the documentation for Template:Wikispecies redirect says "This template is only for entries that currently exist on Wikispecies and which, due to previous re-creations, are likely to be re-created in unencyclopedic form. Do not place it on every possible title." Is your recent use of the template in line with this guidance? — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 11:32, 2 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It is also used when someone makes a [[species:X]] link in an article. It is preferred to transform those links into [[X]] and create the local redirect with {{Wikispecies redirect}}. I don't make these for all possible redirects, only if the cross-wiki link has been made. This gives the reader fair knowledge that they are leaving Wikipedia proper and entering a sister project. Perhaps the documentation should be changed. - UtherSRG (talk) 11:42, 2 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Where is this written? Is there some policy or guideline? — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 11:44, 2 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It is by consensus via AFD when these were previously challenged. - UtherSRG (talk) 11:46, 2 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Would appreciate if you could point me towards these discussions where consensus was established. And yes, the documentation should probably be updated. — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 11:53, 2 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/George Traut Austin was the AfD. - UtherSRG (talk) 11:55, 2 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Assume you mean Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2022 February 14#George Traut Austin. Thanks, reading now — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 12:01, 2 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Oh! Yes. :) - UtherSRG (talk) 12:02, 2 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I can't see any discussion there about converting [[species:X]] links to [[X]] — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 12:05, 2 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Specifically, no, but in the AFD it is called out that the documentation was historic and inaccurate, and the person who so said also had one of the strongest keep !votes on the RfD. - UtherSRG (talk) 12:19, 2 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
