I see that on some pages there is a box with...
editA arrow that reveals extra information? How do you do that? GoofyDonut (talk) 05:05, 21 November 2018 (UTC)
- Can you give me an example so I do know exactly what you're talking about? Bisbis (talk) 05:10, 21 November 2018 (UTC)
Like how on the article "Wikipedia" in "history" it shows two pictures. I understand if this seems trivial to you but, I am new and don't know much about the the platform. GoofyDonut (talk) 05:14, 21 November 2018 (UTC)
- Oh, I was about to ask what you were talking about again, but then I saw you were on mobile (while I'm on my PC), so that's what was getting me. lol The mobile version generates those arrows automatically so the information doesn't load all at once (especially on older smartphones). On the PC, we generally "hide" stuff like that when we use templates and such.
- You can tag me using {{u|Bisbis}} if you have any other questions. That {{u}} thingy is a template that sends a ping to whatever user you want to notify of something. But I'll try to keep an eye on your edits for a while to see if you're needing some help whenever I can. Best regards, Bisbis (talk) 05:26, 21 November 2018 (UTC)

Hello, GoofyDonut. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or draft page you started, Draft:How to be a Supervillain.
In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been deleted. If you plan on working on it further and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at this link. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it. — JJMC89 (T·C) 01:54, 22 August 2019 (UTC)

Benjamin Franklin Middle School, VA moved to draftspace
editAn article you recently created, Benjamin Franklin Middle School, VA, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:
" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page. – Pbrks (t • c) 00:46, 27 February 2022 (UTC)
Oh, ok. Thank you. HelloHamburger (talk) 00:48, 27 February 2022 (UTC)
I hope to edit it soon to meet Wikipedia’s standards, but, forgive me if I am slow about it if my first few drafts don’t meet the standards. I am a new user. HelloHamburger (talk) 03:49, 27 February 2022 (UTC)

edit Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from Loki into another page. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and linking to the copied page, e.g., copied content from [[page name]]; see that page's history for attribution
. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted {{copied}} template on the talk pages of the source and destination. Please provide attribution for this duplication if it has not already been supplied by another editor, and if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, you should provide attribution for that also. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. Sennecaster (Chat) 19:19, 28 February 2022 (UTC)
Thanks for letting me know! I was just trying to move it to a more appropriate page, but I will go back and make that note. HelloHamburger (talk) 20:30, 28 February 2022 (UTC)
- I've just reverted your removal of a lot of very well-sourced material over at our Loki article. What are you trying to do? :bloodofox: (talk) 20:39, 28 February 2022 (UTC)
Like I had previously mentioned, I attempted to move it to a page that it seemed more suited on. The poems that I was attempting to move were taking up a large amount of space. I found an issue with it for two distinct reasons, firstly, there was a large amount of information on the page that could make it difficult to follow, especially for the average reader, and it was incredibly specific to the poems. Secondly, some of the stories appeared to be loosely related to Loki, and seemed to be in reference to Norse Mythology as a whole instead of the singular god. I found it to be largely unrelated to Loki, and thought it would be more appropriate for these stories to be on their own page with the Loki article linking to the relevant articles. I also found formatting issues with it that I wanted to fix, such as titles of sections within one poem being by itself with no distinct formatting, no bold, unique header font, no billeted list, no colons, etc. HelloHamburger (talk) 23:14, 28 February 2022 (UTC)
This comment and the previous comment was meant for User:Bloodofox
Lastly, I added some “Citation needed” tags mostly to entire paragraphs that had no citations on them and some that didn’t have any within its sections. I also put them in the images and descriptions sections because there were no citations found, and I believe that images especially need to be properly cited. Because, without them, it can be very difficult to judge the legitimacy of the images, or be able to view them in further detail. I mean no disrespect or rudeness by my saying this, but I felt overlooked when you completely removed all of my edits, even the citation tags, that you labeled “spurious.” I am ok with leaving the sections the way they are if you believe that it is better that way, but, would you please put back my citation tags and not remove any more I add? Because I believe that they are necessary to alerting editors, so the article can eventually be properly referenced.
I mean no disrespect, but I just attempted to be bold, and try to improve the article. Then, I felt overlooked and discouraged when all of the work I did to format, tag, and move content to relevant spaces was quickly reverted and that half hour or so I spent was undermined. I still want to keep improving this site, but this makes me as a newcomer feel alienated.
I hope you can understand my reasoning. I hope you have a good day today. HelloHamburger (talk) 23:27, 28 February 2022 (UTC)
- The "attestations" sections you're encountering are vital to these articles: They outline exactly where these deities or other beings are mentioned in the Old Norse corpus, and these attestations precede discussion of those sources from scholars. This is how these topics are typically handled in specialist encyclopedias—and for good reason—and how we handle them on English Wikipedia's articles on the same topics. Second, image source information is found on the Wikimedia page for each of the images. I recommend becoming more familiar with Wikipedia before attempting more major changes to these articles, or consider at least using the Wikipedia talk page (also see WP:BRD). :bloodofox: (talk) 00:06, 1 March 2022 (UTC)
Ok, well, thank you for informing me. HelloHamburger (talk) 00:18, 1 March 2022 (UTC)

No citations are required in the article
editNo citations are required in the article lead per MOS:LEADCITE, as long as the content is cited in the article body, as it should be. Do not add missing-citation tags like [citation needed] to the lead. If necessary, [not verified in body] can be used, or the content removed. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 01:20, 13 May 2022 (UTC)
- Which article are you talking about? Also, how are you supposed to know what is and isn't cited in the article if it isn't labeled as such? HelloHamburger (talk) 01:26, 13 May 2022 (UTC)
- I'm assuming that it is the Sally Ride one.
- I get the first part, but please don't remove the other part of my edit. I fixed a dead link. HelloHamburger (talk) 01:34, 13 May 2022 (UTC)
