Hi @

What does a "Redirect" message mean?
GP377 (
talk) 14:42, 23 February 2024 (UTC)reply
@
GP377 A redirect is a page which automatically sends visitors to another page, usually an article or section of an article -
Wikipedia:Redirect - does that answer your question?
Mujinga (
talk) 14:45, 23 February 2024 (UTC)reply
Not really. I understand what a "Redirect" is. I don't understand why it was re-directed. Could it be because the submitted document had the same name that was imbedded in the location where the re-direct went. If so, how can you submit something that has the same name but the content is different?
Thanks for your assistance.

Mujinga (

GP377 (

@
GP377 This question is still a bit vague to me, so let me give a concrete example and see if it answers it.
Ingeborg Barz was until recently a redirect until
I made it an article. I did so by editing over the redirect and adding new sourced information, as can be seen in the diff I linked. Does that help? I can appreciate this might be a quite confusing explanation, but let me know, happy to discuss further
Mujinga (

If it meets the conditions, I'd use
Template:Db-g7, bu again, that's a rather vague question - perhaps asking at

Hi @

here if you are interested. By the way, as asilvering helpfulu pointed out above in their answer to Dan the protestant, "if you're underage, you should read

Wikipedia:Conflict of interest and that would resolve the "A major contributor to this article appears to have a close connection with its subject" tag. For the orphan tag, that can be easily resolved by finding another wikipedia article from which to link to Manisha Juthani, explained by

Hi Mujinga! I just edited my first Wikipedia page on "man flu." I have a few questions:
1) Can I get rid of the image? It's not adding anything to the article, and the caption cannot be verified as true. I only see an option for "change image."
2) Can I delete citations [1] and [2] and the [failed verification] tag? I changed the lead so that it does not apply anymore.
Thank you!

@
Motheryoga hiya
man flu doesn't seem like a busy page with lots of edits from looking at the history but I'd stil suggest first asking at
Talk:Man_flu to see what other editors think about the proposed change. Do you have another image in mind? Also, if you changed the lead, is it still summarising sourced information? I ask this because sure you can delete the failed verification if the source is no longer used, but then you'd need to be using a different ciatation for the info that remains. Pretty much everything on wikipedia needs to be cited, and for example I'm not sure where "However, the scientific community continues to debate the validity and significance of perceived sex differences in symptom severity and immune response to viral illnesses" is referenced. cheers,

Joshuarhuang great question! looking at

User:Joshuarhuang/Sample page. The fact that is at under "User" means that it is on a nonpublic facing page, but also means anyone who knows the backend of wikipedia can see it lke I just did. I you wanted to have private work, it's better to do that off-wiki, but it's perfectly fine to tinker and make drafts in userspace, for example you can see I have
quite extensive subpages. I would however point out wikipeda does not provide free hostig,m so anything in your userspace should be wiki-related. Happy editing!

Hello Mujinga, would you please explain the etiquette for modifying another editor's work? More specifically, if a user has added information without a source or with a source that doesn't appear to support the information. If a different editor can't find a suitable source for the previous user's information, is removing the information (and explaining the removal in the change log) a suitable remedy? What should an editor do if they suspect a citation request won't be actioned quickly? Should an editor leave the information and instead edit the language to ensure readers understand that the information is alleged/unconfirmed?
I'm sure much of this is would be on a case-by-case basis but I'm interested to know your thoughts. Thank you :) --
Jezzda (

@
Jezzda welcome to wikipedia! there's quite a lot of questions there and indeed case by case is normally easier to discuss but happy to answer in broad terms as well (and look at specific examples later). Wikipedia is all about people being bold to make edits, so feel free to get involved, that's how we all started probably, wanting to fix something :) If someone disagrees and reverts your edit, the next step would be to discuss on the relevant talkpage and in the ideal case reach consensus, which I can't say always happens but it's nice when it does. Pretty much everything on wikipedia should be sourced, so you are welcoem to remove unsourced or badly sourced information. This is particularly true for articles about living people so that false or malicious information does not stay up long.
"If a different editor can't find a suitable source for the previous user's information, is removing the information (and explaining the removal in the change log) a suitable remedy?" - yes i would say so, it might be a trigger for a longer discussion and that's good, we all want to improve the encyclopedia.
"What should an editor do if they suspect a citation request won't be actioned quickly?" - if i put in a request for source, i would wait at least a week before removing the information, just to give others a chance to respond, but it really depends on context ... if it's libellous, don't wait ... if you know who added the info you could go to their talkpage to chat about it...
" Should an editor leave the information and instead edit the language to ensure readers understand that the information is alleged/unconfirmed?" I wuldn't edit the langauge no, i'd prob remove the statement or add a citation needed tag, using
Template:Citation needed
Hope that helps, feel free to discuss more :) Normally I'll respond quicker but I was visiting friends these last days.

Hey there, I have been trying to draft my first Wikipedia article and got rejected quite a lot of times for formats and views. Would you suggest me how is it different from an article? Suppose I am writing on a subject, what should I focus on more? Would love to know more about it. Thanks. --

Draft:Souryadeepta Majumdar is presumably writing about yourself? Almost always a bad idea, since it's hard to be objective about your own achievements

Draft:Data_Driven_Astronomy - well, you have been given good advice alreasdy by two separate reviewers. Although you did add references, you didn't add them inline except in one case, whichn is unfortunate. To see how a wikipedia article should be referenced, let's look at
Horned sungem, today's featured article, which means it is on the main page. Firstly you have the lead, the summary part, which doesnt need references becuase it summarises the article body, where all the claims are referenced. And under in the body, everything is referenced inline, for example The specimen originally illustrated by Temminck in 1820, now considered as the type specimen of the species, is part of the collection of the Naturalis Biodiversity Center in Leiden [5] with 5 being the link to the reference.
Well @
Mujinga, this was exactly the specific guidance I was seeking as it wasnt clear on how I can shape the format and references to make it better. Surely, it does help! Thanks a lot for your support! Will sirely reach out for further queries if needed.

LOFT MUZIVK that doesn't really sound like a good use of wikipedia? and as a buddy said up above, "if you're underage, you should read
WP:YOUNG before writing anything about yourself at all" since it is a public website. I've put some helpful links at

Sorry for the delay @

Mr. Vikash Thakur hiya the article is not bad for a first attempt, well done you!! it probably would not in my opinion pass through the
Wikipedia:Articles for creation process yet, which is where this is headed, with a bit more work first I think it'll be good-to-go.
At first I was sceptical because there are a lot of purely promotional article attempts on wikipedia, but this guy does seem notable on wikipedia standards because he does have significant coverage in reliable sources. The inman and entrepreneur sources are decent, and I found on a quick look
this source saying he was 2023 Commencement speaker at Luther which would be worth adding. I'll put some comments now ...

WP:PROMO is also worth a read, although so far I think you have steered clear of being overly promotional
3 Right now the article is quite well sourced, but the "Early life and education" section has no sources. As a rough rule of thumb, every paragraph in the article body should have at least one citation on it
4 Despite 3, the article lead tends not to need citations, since it should only be summarising information cited below in the article body. Does that make sense?
5 There appear to be many iterations of
Luther College so please specify which one you mean if you click through the link.
6 The Forbes and CNBC links aren't great and could be replaced with better ones.
Ah now I see you have published it, well done. Other editors have made comments and you can use this feedback to improve the page

There are 3 radio stations that are Mono instead of Stereo:
25 ABC Sydney

I don't know how to do this. --

Hi @
DeepnessSky first step would be to know if you have a reference from a reliable source for this change? It can be hard to get one's head around at first, but wikipedia needs to be verifiable, so even if you know something to be true, you need to "prove it" with a reference so others can check it.
Wikipedia:Verifiability covers this in more detail. Cheers!

Running from June 1 to 30, 2024, WikiProject Women in Green (WiG) is hosting a Good Article (GA) edit-a-thon event with the theme Going Back in Time! All experience levels welcome. Never worked on a GA project before? We'll teach you how to get started. Or maybe you're an old hand at GAs – we'd love to have you involved! Participants are invited to work on nominating and/or reviewing GA submissions related to women and women's works (e.g., books, films) during the event period. We hope to collectively cover article subjects from at least 20 centuries by month's end. GA resources and one-on-one support will be provided by experienced GA editors, and participants will have the opportunity to earn a special WiG barnstar for their efforts.
We hope to see you there!

Hi @

You mean your own biography? Well you have a userpage at
User:Sinovuyo CeeJay Mfana but remember that is a public facing page so you may want to think about how much information you want to add to it.

...How do you create a citation? As well why do you create a citation as private information? Especially if it shows that it is publicly private? --
