Content splits do not require discussion

Regarding your revert of a user splitting off Chappell Roan's discography to its own article, WP:SPLIT acknowledges that users can make WP:BOLD splits and even says, "If an article meets the criteria for splitting and no discussion is required, editors can be bold and carry out the split." While she is popular, Chappell Roan is not particularly "high profile" nor a "sensitive" article, and these sorts of discography-section splits are carried out all the time without the need for discussions being started on whether there's consensus for them. I don't think your revert was necessary, nor that a discussion needs to take place. The split will inevitably happen anyway. Ss112 13:27, 30 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Ss112 thanks for leaving the message. Perhaps this is a philosophical disagreement about the purpose of discography pages, but I do still see them as flowing from the policies of WP:SIZESPLIT and WP:CONTENTSPLIT. The Roan page is nowhere near big enough to become a SIZESPLIT, and when she only has one album, what is the CONTENTSPLIT? The chart position of the singles is the only remotely meaningful content that isn't/shouldn't be covered on the Roan or Rise and Fall pages. I know that a discog page will happen (justifiably, for navigation reasons) the moment she releases a second project, but to me, it so clearly serves our readers better to have the relevant information in one place while that's possible. Plus, for a category of content that inevitably attracts fancruft, it's a lot easier for editors to keep an eye on it when it's on one page. Just my 2c.

Question from Loi Van Nguyen (10:32, 16 September 2024)

What is this question Legionnaires disease. Please --Loi Van Nguyen (talk) 10:32, 16 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Loi Van Nguyen, I can only answer questions about editing Wikipedia. Alyo (chat·edits) 10:59, 17 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Question from R3000.tmc (03:15, 18 September 2024)

Hi Alyo! I am just starting my Wikipedia editing experience. I want to start writing articles about cell therapy and the more recent findings that the field has accomplished --- including the scientists behind them (and how they got to their discoveries). I'm trying to figure out where exactly I can start to do this --- I haven't read through all the tutorials yet but I figured it would be more efficient if I ask you first. --R3000.tmc (talk) 03:16, 18 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @R3000.tmc, welcome to Wikipedia! I'm going to assume, based on the field you're interested, that you're already somewhat familiar with issues of coverage in academia. On Wikipedia, the issue we have is that scientists--even particularly notable ones--often have very little coverage about them in reliable, third-party sources, which is what is generally required. Because of that, start with WP:NSCIENTIST, and see if the people you're thinking of meet at least one of those criteria. If so, I would then go to the WP:Article wizard, which guides you through the basic technical steps of actually creating an article. Let me know if that makes sense so far, and if I can help with any next steps. Alyo (chat·edits) 21:21, 18 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Okay great, thanks Alyo. I will check these out. R3000.tmc (talk) 21:26, 18 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Question from Adam Tari (17:20, 29 September 2024)

Hello! Please edit the Result box in the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2022_Hungarian_parliamentary_election page. The problem is, that the got numbers of Independent candidates is missing. They got 28.416 votes and the number of constituency is 5.440.483 altogether. Percentages are also needed to be changed. Thank You! --Adam Tari (talk) 17:20, 29 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Adam Tari, because I know nothing about this topic I have to default to what the sources say, and I don't see anything that lists 28,416 votes for independent candidates. (To be clear, I also don't speak Hungarian.) Can you provide a source for this? Alyo (chat·edits) 01:30, 30 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Within the list of egyéni választókerületek eredményei: https://vtr.valasztas.hu/ogy2022 Adam Tari (talk) 14:25, 30 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Add the got votes of all single Independets according to this page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2022_Hungarian_parliamentary_election_results_by_constituency Adam Tari (talk) 14:27, 30 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Adam Tari I'm sure I'm looking at the wrong thing, but I still don't see that anywhere. Is there any reason you can't add this yourself to the page? Alyo (chat·edits) 15:24, 30 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yes. Because the numbers are add by the system. Adam Tari (talk) 19:20, 30 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

what system? Alyo (chat·edits) 21:38, 30 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

the online calculator, no? Adam Tari (talk) 07:50, 1 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

There's no online calculator in Wikipedia, those numbers are manually added by editors into a table that you can see when you're in edit mode. Alyo (chat·edits) 14:25, 1 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

So that's why edit it, what I asked you! Adam Tari (talk) 09:15, 3 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Do you have a Hungarian collegaue? If yes, please contact me to him/her! Adam Tari (talk) 13:14, 3 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hah, fair enough. Well, looking at the editors who are in WP:WikiProject Hungarian culture and WP:WikiProject Hungary, you might try @Alensha, @Eino81, @Ineuw, @Norden1990, or @OrionNimrod. Alyo (chat·edits) 14:50, 3 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure I understand what you mean by independent candidates in this election, but the numbers match the ones in the Hungarian wiki article. Please come over to Hungarian Wikipedia, if you bring sources we can update the numbers there and I'll update them here too. – Alensha ^talk 16:50, 3 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Question from UserSewey (22:13, 1 October 2024)

Hello,

How can i upload essential references onto wikipedia? --UserSewey (talk) 22:13, 1 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @UserSewey, what do you mean? We don't usually "upload" references onto wikipedia--we just link to them. Do you mean that you have books or other physical sources that you want to reference? Alyo (chat·edits) 03:38, 2 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

i think i meant the link like ctrl c and then ctrl v necessary reference links so i can complete the medium side of editing in wikipedia. UserSewey (talk) 14:34, 2 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

What page are you editing? And what reference are you trying to add? Alyo (chat·edits) 14:41, 2 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Question from Fenixmusicstudio (22:47, 2 October 2024)

Merhaba 'Scorpi' adlı parlama eşiğinde olan sanatçımızın biyografisini eklemek istiyoruz. Yardımcı olursanız çok sevinirim --Fenixmusicstudio (talk) 22:47, 2 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello @Fenixmusicstudio, Wikipedia is not the place to promote your artists. Alyo (chat·edits) 14:15, 3 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Question from AliyahVas2016 (17:51, 4 October 2024)

Hey! I want to make an article but I don’t know how! Can you teach me? --AliyahVas2016 (talk) 17:51, 4 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @AliyahVas2016, welcome to wikipedia! What are you trying to write about? You can use the WP:Article Wizard, which will guide you through the process of starting a new page, but please note that Wikipedia is not for promotion, and the article will only be accepted if you include multiple independent sources discussing the topic in some detail. For example, magazine profiles or newspapers would work. However, links to social media or blogs will not be enough. Alyo (chat·edits) 18:42, 4 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I’m looking to write about a small YouTuber, tiktoker, singer and context creator and I know a lot about her from personal knowledge. AliyahVas2016 (talk) 03:10, 5 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@AliyahVas2016 as a general rule, personal knowledge is not allowed as a "source" on wikipedia. After all, I and other editors cannot verify that in any way. We need information that is supported by reliable, third party sources. If you don't have a couple of those sources about the content creator, I'm sorry to say that the article is very unlikely to be accepted. Alyo (chat·edits) 04:01, 5 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

She has posted information about herself online so would that be considered a third party source? AliyahVas2016 (talk) 04:23, 5 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No, I'm sorry, it would need to be material that other people have written about her. And in general this means, for example, news articles, magazines profiles, newspaper stories, etc. Not just press releases or blog discussions. Alyo (chat·edits) 04:25, 5 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Oh ok but how do I write an article anyways? AliyahVas2016 (talk) 19:30, 5 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You take content, say, what you've written on your talk page about "Bree Moore", and you add sources to it. If you don't add sources, then the article will get deleted pretty quickly, for the reasons I explained above. Alyo (chat·edits) 20:25, 5 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Question from SHELLMOONANDLOON (14:27, 6 October 2024)

how do i switch to the visual editor --SHELLMOONANDLOON (talk) 14:27, 6 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @SHELLMOONANDLOON, since you're a new editor, visual editor should be enabled by default. Have you had any issues with it yet? Alyo (chat·edits) 14:34, 6 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Showing leadership

Firstly, I wanted to thank you for showing leadership and guidance. I believe it is important for any voluntary position, that the volunteer feels that efforts are acknowledged and that our time is valued. It is also important that we all speak with integrity and respecting our dignity.

Secondly, I am very keen to learn and was wondering if you were part of the adoption programme. I am also stuck with the process of editing a page so that a tag is removed. Despite my efforts there seem to be some strong feelings from another editor. I hope that this will be resolved but your help will be much appreciated as a more experienced editor. Thank you in advance. Cleverboy inn (talk) 14:50, 6 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
