Question from CincyBorn on Kenwood Towne Centre (11:35, 6 April 2025)

Hello, how do I create a citation? I am trying to correct gross misinformation within this title page. The information I have is from personal knowledge and relatioships with the players involved and can be supported from the web and the Hamilton County Auditors website. I feel it is very important, but I'm somewhat lost as I've never done this before. --CincyBorn (talk) 11:35, 6 April 2025 (UTC)

@CincyBorn: Your personal knowledge is not acceptable as a reference. Please read WP:REFB to learn how to cite references. - UtherSRG (talk) 11:48, 6 April 2025 (UTC)

Thank you I will. CincyBorn (talk) 12:07, 6 April 2025 (UTC)

Okay. Here is the problem. There is a Mall, that, in not only Google search, but Wiki search, currently Kenwood Towne Centre, originally Kenwood Shopping Center, comes up under "Kenwood Mall". Opened in 1956, and through numerous ownerships, it never was and never has been "Kenwood Mall". I have no citations to prove this. Nor really a need to because it is never cited in Wiki as Kenwood Mall, only comes up when used as a search term.

As to the real Kenwood Mall, opened 1966, across Montgomery Road, I do have personal knowledge, I knew the developers and grew up with their childten and ditto the former property owner and his children. I get that substantiates nothing, and I can probably provide multiple citations, esp county records. HOWEVER, there is no title to which to apply them. It needs to be created by whomever at Wiki does that. Googling "Keenwood Mall 1966 Lindner Bros." and following the trail. CincyBorn (talk) 12:47, 6 April 2025 (UTC)

Sorry, Kenwood, not Keenwood.

And Kenwood Shopping Center, aka Kenwood Towne Centre, never carrying the Kenwood Mall moniker is simply by intellegent deducement. CincyBorn (talk) 12:52, 6 April 2025 (UTC)

I really don't care about this topic. Please raise the issue on the article's talk page. - UtherSRG (talk) 12:56, 6 April 2025 (UTC)

Question from ErisLoup (08:19, 7 April 2025)

Hello ! I'm working on the history of of wikis for my job, and I feel like the "History of wikis" article is a great start. It isn't available in french, my native language, so I'm wondering if translating it could be a good idea, while I'm working on it anyway. I have two questions. - Can I start working on the translation, send the work I did, come back later, or should I keep my progress until I have an article that is complete ? - Do you have any advice, warnings, tips on doing this ? --ErisLoup (talk) 08:19, 7 April 2025 (UTC)

@ErisLoup: If you are translating to French, you need to be asking on the French-language Wikipedia. Each language is run independently. - UtherSRG (talk) 10:54, 7 April 2025 (UTC)

Question from AestheticZone 2 (03:17, 10 April 2025)

I’ve seen articles have small hyperlinked numbers at the end of the paragraphs, what are those for and how do I use them properly, are they required in all articles? --AestheticZone 2 (talk) 03:17, 10 April 2025 (UTC)

@AestheticZone 2: They are reference links down to the references section, indicating what source is supporting the assertion it is attached to. They are absolutely required. Please read WP:REFB to learn how. - UtherSRG (talk) 11:16, 10 April 2025 (UTC)

Question from Ruina191 (11:59, 11 April 2025)

Hi, In one of the "Easy" suggested edits, I came across a page that I thought would be a good place to start (familiarity with the topic) but when I started reading it, the persistent question in my mind was -- why does this page even need to exist on Wikipedia. It did not make sense to me. What can I do in such a case? --Ruina191 (talk) 11:59, 11 April 2025 (UTC)

@Ruina191: Which article? - UtherSRG (talk) 12:32, 11 April 2025 (UTC)

Tourism in India by state 193.206.246.130 (talk) 14:03, 11 April 2025 (UTC)

It passes WP:GNG which is our primary inclusion criteria. It certainly needs a lot of work, though. Please always log in when making edits. - UtherSRG (talk) 19:34, 11 April 2025 (UTC)

Question from Akinola Omolayo (19:07, 12 April 2025)

Hello, How do I create a citation and build my profile? --Akinola Omolayo (talk) 19:07, 12 April 2025 (UTC)

@Akinola Omolayo: I've put some links on your user talk page to help you get started. You should also read WP:REFB for elarning how to cite sources, and WP:AUTOB to lear that writing about yourself is strongly discouraged. - UtherSRG (talk) 19:47, 12 April 2025 (UTC)

Redirects to non-existent Wikispecies pages

Today I have found two Wikipedia pages — Brian J. Crother and Philip A. Purser — you have created that are redirects to non-existent pages on Wikispecies. I do not know how it is worthwhile to suggest that "You may want to read the Wikispecies entry on" is helpful when no such page exists there. Also, in both cases a Wikidata entry was created with just a label and enwiki link, i.e. without any statements or identifiers. Oronsay (talk) 20:41, 12 April 2025 (UTC)

@Oronsay: Thank you for your opinion. However, this concept was tested at AFD and upheld. The community finds them valuable, even if you do not. - UtherSRG (talk) 21:20, 12 April 2025 (UTC)

The discussion was held at Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2022 February 14#George Traut Austin. - UtherSRG (talk) 21:22, 12 April 2025 (UTC)

That discussion covers a redirect to Wikisource where an entry did exist. The two I quote above have no pages on Wikisource. Redirecting readers to non-existent pages is the same as sending them to deadlinks. Oronsay (talk) 21:28, 12 April 2025 (UTC)

Ah... Well, the first one looks to be a typo... Brian I. Crother. I'll fix that. Likely the other is something similar. Almost always I'm creating these when editing an article that has a hardlink to Wikispecies such as species:Brian J. Crother. If the original hard link hard a typo, then my new soft redirect will have the same typo. I'll trace these back to find the origins... UtherSRG (talk) 21:32, 12 April 2025 (UTC)

I appreciate you looking into this and improving reader experience. Oronsay (talk) 21:34, 12 April 2025 (UTC)

Ooooh.... Purser seems to be a junk entry.... a user trying to promote themselves. See Ppurser and their deleted history. So I'll trash that and unlink. Thanks! - UtherSRG (talk) 21:40, 12 April 2025 (UTC)

Question from Mymousedied (00:17, 13 April 2025)

Hi, is it possible to create a new article? I would like to create one for a fairly new family of guns that does not seem to have one yet --Mymousedied (talk) 00:17, 13 April 2025 (UTC)

@Mymousedied: I will put some links on your talk page on how to get started editing here. Once you have some understanding of how to be a Wikipedian, then you should go to WP:MFA to draft your first article. - UtherSRG (talk) 00:55, 13 April 2025 (UTC)
