Hi, there used to be an article about the AEW stable "The Conglomeration", but it got deleted due to being insignificant or not notable I guess. One reason given was "short-lived faction with little to no significance. Members no longer affiliated according to AEW roster website and probably would not be brought back".

Well a bunch of time has passed and they are now World Trios Champions in AEW and very much affiliated with each other week-to-week. I think it's gained enough notoriety to have its own article again. <3 SwitchMIX (talk) 16:31, 10 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]

The easiest thing to do is to create a draft page and submit it to review via the Articles for creation process. That will usually be considered consensus to override the deletion debate. Ritchie333 ^{(talk) (cont)} 11:29, 11 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, for context: When I was a newcomer (about 2 months or so ago), I tried to replace the image representative of Acton Smee Ayrton by finding an actual photograph of him when he was alive. I found one in the National Portrait Gallery and assumed because its attribution 4.0 means it could be submitted to WikiCommons, without acknowledging the NC-ND part (because I didn't know better). So I did, and it still hasn't been deleted yet (https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Acton_Smee_Ayrton_Photograph.jpg). It's been 2 months, and I've changed. Actually, I have 2 pictures I submitted 2 months ago that may not be Wikipedia-compliant.

My question is: Is there any way to delete something you've published yourself, or is it the moderator's job to do that? --DoNothingEveryday (talk) 11:23, 12 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure about photographs on Wikimedia Commons. You're probably better off asking over there. Ritchie333 ^{(talk) (cont)} 17:28, 14 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]

how can I create a citation?! --E4t1ngD1s0rd3r2 (talk) 18:12, 13 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Hello! I just edited "Psychedelic Rock". Please tell me if I made a good edit or a bad one. Thanks. --Bogdonovitch (talk) 14:40, 14 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]

No, you need a source for that, and multiple Pink Floyd sources have contested that, it's far more complicated. Ritchie333 ^{(talk) (cont)} 17:27, 14 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I'm currently editing my work's Wikipedia page. I'd like to make updates to the infobox. I'm struggling with formatting and editing the template. I'd like to adjust the "executive director" title to say "Co-Directors" and to be able to add two names on different lines. I'm editing the page for Contemporary Arts Museum Houston btw. --Aasarecamh (talk) 17:22, 14 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]

It's probably not a good idea to edit articles about your work. Infoboxes tend to cater for the majority of cases, but sometimes they don't quite fit everything. You're probably best asking in a wider venue such as the Teahouse, where there are more editors who may be able to help. I'm afraid I don't know much about the specifics for infoboxes, and tend to just leave that to other editors. Ritchie333 ^{(talk) (cont)} 17:30, 14 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]

I want to make an article about an artist called overtonight, how do I do so --Guacomoguacomo (talk) 19:37, 14 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]

May backlog drive

An article-only backlog drive is currently underway. We are hoping to make a big dent in the backlog. You can read more about it or join at Wikipedia:New pages patrol/Backlog drives/May 2026.

PageTriage

An attempt was made to get the New Pages Feed to sort by date marked as reviewed instead of date created. However we had to revert it due to bugs. We may try again in the future. You can subscribe to the Phabricator ticket if you're interested in following along.

Reminders:

• You can access live chat with patrollers on the New Page Patrol Discord.
• Consider adding the project discussion page to your watchlist.

Hello, how can I rename the title of a Wikipedia article? --DoNothingEveryday (talk) 09:24, 16 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]

You need page mover rights in order to do that. Ritchie333 ^{(talk) (cont)} 18:16, 18 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Hola, quería publicar información pero no sé el por qué mi IP está bloqueada, quisiera que me pueda ayudar cuando disponga de tiempo. Gracias --Lucas243 (talk) 13:00, 20 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]

I have not taken anything away. I have added a short section on the Godstone construction. I have made the history section better and coherent to read.

I contribute much to SABRE, like yourself. I know who you are. ~2026-30336-02 (talk) 18:18, 20 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]

What is the policy on replacing a person's image in an article with a more recent one? Should you always replace the older one with a more recent one, or are there any other factors at play? --DoNothingEveryday (talk) 02:19, 27 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]

The only basic criteria is that the image should be free to use anywhere, per the general mission statement of the encyclopedia. Beyond that, it's a general consensus between editors as to which image to use. Ritchie333 ^{(talk) (cont)} 11:50, 29 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]

i want to start a new page --Biggerfishpr (talk) 18:23, 28 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]

As a general rule of thumb, if your primary reason to first visit Wikipedia is to start a new page, you're probably in the wrong place. It's better to start off by improving existing articles first. Ritchie333 ^{(talk) (cont)} 11:54, 29 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, how I can check whether my edits are published or not. --GurpreetDahiya (talk) 06:31, 29 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]

At the top right hand of the screen, there is a drop down menu, which shows your contributions. You can check here to see whether edits have gone through, if you have an intermittent connection. Ritchie333 ^{(talk) (cont)} 11:53, 29 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]
