== making a page for a band and need help with citations and such. ==

Hello,

My name is Ted and I work for the band XEB (former members of Third Eye Blind). In regards to the band and how it started there is very little source material to cite other than what the band members have told me directly. How do I resolve this? — Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:XEBband|XEBband]] ([[User talk:XEBband#top|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/XEBband|contribs]]) 03:35, 7 July 2017 (UTC) 
:There are two separate but related issues here—[[WP:NOTABLE|notability]] and [[WP:V|verifiability]]. ''Notability'', in Wikipedia parlance, means whether a subject is suitable for a standalone article. For a subject to meet Wikipedia's notability requirements, it should have received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of itself. There are specific guidelines for determining whether a band is considered notable: see [[WP:BAND]].

:Even when a subject is notable, an article about it must contain content that is ''verifiable'' using [[WP:RS|reliable published sources]], not content that is based on personal knowledge, anecdote or hearsay. The latter is called [[WP:NOR|original research]], and it isn't permitted. You could use what band members told you as a rough basis for outlining an article, but the actual content would need to be reliably sourced. [[User:Rivertorch|'''Rivertorch''']][[Special:Contributions/Rivertorch|FIRE]][[User talk:Rivertorch|WATER]] 04:47, 7 July 2017 (UTC)

::There are two further issues. Your user name suggests that it is an account for the band, and this is not acceptable. All accounts on Wikipedia must be personal accounts. The other issue is that you have a [[WP:Conflict of interest]] and you are required to declare your [[WP:Paid]] status. [[User:Dbfirs|''Dbfirs'']] 07:13, 7 July 2017 (UTC)

== Administrator needed to close two interpersonal ANIs ==
Good day. An Administrator is needed to close two interpersonal ANIs: [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard/Incidents#WP:BATTLEGROUND_behavior_and_personal_attacks_by_Pyxis_Solitary 1] and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard/Incidents#Advice_to_keep_a_distance_defied_by_editor_Tenebrae 2]. Because of the nature of these ANIs — and what resulted from the closure by a non-administrator of an ANI related to "2" — attention from an Administrator is crucial. Thank you. [[User:Pyxis Solitary|Pyxis Solitary]] [[User_talk talk:Pyxis Solitary|talk]] 04:58, 7 July 2017 (UTC)

== Problematic link on page - course of action. ==

I just noticed that the link on this page "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Easy_Programming_Language" has been reported as unsafe by multiple sources, including google safe browsing (see: https://www.google.com/transparencyreport/safebrowsing/diagnostic/#url=http://epl.eyuyan.com/). I think it may be worth to check if the link should be removed, but I don't have an account on Wikipedia nor I know what is the community-preferred way to deal with this kind of issue.

I am creating this message so that some more experience user may pick up this issue. Please forgive me if this is not the most appropriate section of the site for this kind of problems. — Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/195.14.103.239|195.14.103.239]] ([[User talk:195.14.103.239#top|talk]]) 07:36, 7 July 2017 (UTC)

== Need help regarding Reference on Wikipedia ==

Hello,

I have created a new account here and I want to place a link to my website as a reference. I own a business named La Fantaisie and famous actors like Ganesh Venkataraman, Nisha Krishnan, Deepika padukone etc have endorsed for our collection. You can also check the reference link for south actor Ganesh Venkatraman. The articles have mentioned our name.

May I know how I can link to external website of mine through editing or what i can I do.

Thanks,
Rachel — Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:La Fantaisie|La Fantaisie]] ([[User talk:La Fantaisie#top|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/La Fantaisie|contribs]]) 07:53, 7 July 2017 (UTC) 

:Hello, {{U|La Fantaisie|Rachel}}. I'm afraid that you will not be able to do that.

== Avoiding an edit war over new article tag ==

Hello. I seem to be engaged in a struggle with [[User talk:Kashif Latif]] over his creation of a new article, [[Kashif Latif]]. I have tagged his page for speedy deletion as it is both promoting and non-notable, but he persists in removing my tags. What would be the best course of action? [[User:SamHolt6|SamHolt6]] ([[User talk:SamHolt6|talk]]) 19:23, 7 July 2017 (UTC)
:Well, he's been warned for years. I'm hoping that some admin who reads this will finally [[WP:SALT]] that page. †[[User:Dismas|dismas]]†|[[User talk:Dismas|(talk)]] 19:49, 7 July 2017 (UTC)
::Deleted and salted. [[User:RJFJR|RJFJR]] ([[User talk:RJFJR|talk]]) 19:51, 7 July 2017 (UTC)
:{{ec}} {{ping|SamHolt16}} Hi, I have warned the user about removal of speedy from self-created pages, at a fairly high level, as he has removed the tag on multiple occasions. I have also noted the previous deletions with an 'AFC comment' on the page. If he persists in removing the tag it should go to [[:WP:AIV]]. It may also be a case where Admin. might block future re-creation. [[User:Eagleash|Eagleash]] ([[User talk:Eagleash|talk]]) 19:55, 7 July 2017 (UTC)
:As has now happened. [[User:Eagleash|Eagleash]] ([[User talk:Eagleash|talk]]) 19:56, 7 July 2017 (UTC)

:As far as I know, if there isn't an administrator who acts upon your question here, the best place where you could bring up the issue is [[Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents]]. [[User:Bever|Bever]] ([[User talk:Bever|talk]]) 19:58, 7 July 2017 (UTC) PS When I was writing this, two other people answered, but I did not get an 'edit conflict' warning. Strange.
::{{ping|Bever}} There are Admins. who read this page, some of them also regular volunteer helpers. As you can see above, the page has been salted. [[User:Eagleash|Eagleash]] ([[User talk:Eagleash|talk]]) 20:05, 7 July 2017 (UTC)
:::Hi, thanks. I notice [[Talk:Kashif Latif]] still exists. Is this the normal procedure? [[User:Bever|Bever]] ([[User talk:Bever|talk]]) 20:30, 7 July 2017 (UTC)
::::They do tend to hang around for a few days (maybe longer) before being deleted in general housekeeping. They can be deleted using CSD G8 (talk page dependent on a non-existent page) but I have not tagged it as yet as there is old AfD info on the page. [[User:Eagleash|Eagleash]] ([[User talk:Eagleash|talk]]) 20:58, 7 July 2017 (UTC)

====Suggestion====
By the way, the Dutch Wikipedia has also a ''speedy deletion page'' on which one can add proposals for speedy deletion, so that the tag removal would be less of an issue. Would that be a good idea for the English Wikipedia as well? [[User:Bever|Bever]] ([[User talk:Bever|talk]]) 20:14, 7 July 2017 (UTC)

== Unreferenced section tag ==

Hi, I stumbled upon [[Ethnogenesis]]. The section "Inclusive or exclusive nationalism" has had an 'unreferenced' tag since 2009. I have some questions about the necessity of this tag and [[Help talk:Maintenance template removal]] refers me to the Help desk.

In the article history I found out that the section was considerably larger at the time [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Ethnogenesis&diff=prev&oldid=275778669 the tag was placed]. The paragraph about Nazi Germany was removed [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Ethnogenesis&diff=343759423&oldid=337785812 in 2010] (with the comment 'seems out of place, perhaps if reformulated') and the paragraph about Yugoslavia, also criticized on the [[Talk:Ethnogenesis#South_Slavic_ethnic_groups|talk page]] was also removed [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Ethnogenesis&diff=626057263&oldid=620323937 in 2014], leaving only the paragraph about France. In other words, the tag originally referred (also) to information which is not there,

What is told there, is known by everyone with some knowledge about France and French history, so I wonder if it is possibly to remove the maintenance tag? [[User:Bever|Bever]] ([[User talk:Bever|talk]]) 19:42, 7 July 2017 (UTC)

:{{u|Bever}} Please do not remove the tag, unless you have first added the required references. The English Wikipedia is not written only for people "with some knowledge about France and French history". There are several more sections in that article that have no or few references, it needs a lot of work to bring it up to standard.

== The Volkswagen Kubelwagen page ==
After adding an addition to the [[Volkswagen Kubelwagen]] page, I found a notice about "<nowiki><ref></nowiki>s without content between them." However, I can't find any such notices in the text. I did, however, raise the question about how many were used for the Army's analysis of this vehicle, for which I have no further information.

What is wrong, and what should I do about it? — Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/2602:306:C41C:4D80:9469:2ED8:F343:7885|2602:306:C41C:4D80:9469:2ED8:F343:7885]] ([[User talk:2602:306:C41C:4D80:9469:2ED8:F343:7885#top|talk]]) 23:47, 7 July 2017 (UTC)
