Question from Wailakki White Lily (22:47, 8 July 2025)
[edit]Hello. I guess I am as dumb as a rock. Signed up to edit, but still no comprende.
In Eel River Athapaskan people, the name Lassik appears as the name of a tribe. El-ai-sec (pronounced Lassik) indicates a man leading a group of Wintu people. I would like to add a note to that effect. There NEVER WAS a man named Lassik. He is a member of our indigenous family, the White Lily People of Trinity and Humboldt Counties. --Wailakki White Lily (talk) 22:47, 8 July 2025 (UTC)

- You can go to the individual AfD category pages and add the discussion manually, I have just done that for the tennis list at Special:Diff/1301247000 (I have this list watchlisted), the same thing can be done for the other lists. Iffy★Chat -- 21:44, 18 July 2025 (UTC)

Question from ElenaHorikawa (13:37, 20 July 2025)
[edit]I added sources to an entry about a 2007 Japanese movie called Dear Friends. I would appreciate it if you could review my work and let me know whether I made any mistakes in the way I cite sources. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dear_Friends_(2007_film) How should I add items in the "External Link" section? --ElenaHorikawa (talk) 13:37, 20 July 2025 (UTC)
- Hello! Ive had a quick look at your edits and don't see any major mistakes in how you have used your references, the one thing I would note is that websites that rely on user generated content like IMDb are not considered to be reliable sources and shouldn't be used as references. As for adding new external links, you can use the same format as is already used for the official website, e.g. in wikitext: * [https://jfdb.jp/en/title/775# Dear Friends at Japanese Film Database] Iffy★Chat -- 15:01, 20 July 2025 (UTC)
- Many thanks for the helpful feedback. I have improved the formatting in the external link based you your suggestion, and I will try to find alternatives for the references to IMDb. It seems the movie was not reviewed in any of Japan's major newspapers and its official website has been taken down, so it was harder than I thought to find good references for this wiki entry. But I will try to find some better sources! ElenaHorikawa (talk) 06:53, 24 July 2025 (UTC)
- OK, I found an article in the Asahi Shinbun, a major Japanese newspaper, which mentions the movie, its release in February 2007, and has an interview with one of the lead actresses. I added it using the template "news". The article, which is in Japanese, is only accessible via a database giving access to Asahi Shinbun articles, so I cannot add a link. I added the reference but there seems to be some error, as the following code is visible:
{{cite news}}:|access-date=requires|url=(help) - I was wondering how I could solve that. Other than the fact that I cannot provide a url, I also have problems editing existing sources. How could I get the dialogue box back open? So far, I have always just recreated the entire reference from scratch. ElenaHorikawa (talk) 03:10, 25 July 2025 (UTC)
- If you have a reference that doesn't have a URL associated with it, then omit the access-date parameter altogether. That will fix the issue you are currently having. More help on referencing can be found at Wikipedia:Citing sources and Help:Referencing for beginners. Iffy★Chat -- 04:57, 25 July 2025 (UTC)
- Understood! Thanks and I fixed the issue. ElenaHorikawa (talk) 15:39, 25 July 2025 (UTC)

Question from WhitlinghamCountryPark (11:32, 11 September 2025)
[edit]Hi Iffy, Do you have any idea how you can get a different page to link to Google? Basically when I Google search 'Whitlingham Country Park' I get a page with reviews etc but also a panel on the right which links to a Wikipedia article called 'Whitlingham Marsh'- and it is not a great match at all for the country park and has lots of incorrect information. The park does not have its own page, which may be the problem, but there is a page called just 'Whitlingham' which is a better match. Is there a way to get Google to prefer that article instead? Hope that makes sense. Any suggestions appreciated! The Whitlingham team --WhitlinghamCountryPark (talk) 11:32, 11 September 2025 (UTC)
- Hello! Wikipedia does not control what links Google provides on its panels when people search for content that does not have an article on Wikipedia. If you think the country park is notable enough for its own article, you could try drafting one, using the Wikipedia:Articles for creation process. Note: Wikipedia's username policy does not allow shared/corporate accounts; please request a username change and clearly identify any conflict of interests you may have. Iffy★Chat -- 11:47, 11 September 2025 (UTC)

[edit]Thanks. I have now requested a username change. Do you know the answer to my previous query? --WhitlinghamCountryPark (talk) 12:55, 11 September 2025 (UTC)
- Thank you for requesting a username change. Once your username change has been processed, please clearly identify any conflict of interests and ensure you follow Wikipedia's conflict of interest guideline when making future edits. After taking another look at the pages, I have create a redirect from Whitlingham Country Park to the part of Whitlingham that mentions the country park, but it will take some time for this new redirect to be picked up by Google. If you think the country park is notable enough for its own article, you can try drafting an article, using the Wikipedia:Articles for creation process. Iffy★Chat -- 13:31, 11 September 2025 (UTC)
