Question from LevTi (09:03, 7 March 2025)

[edit]

Hi, How can I create an article? My grandfather was a prominent artist, painter in USSR. He was mostly active in 1950-1970. I haven't noticed anything about him and his work on Wikipedia. I would like to create an article about my grandfather. I have photos of him, his works and some documents. And, I have few links to webpages that mentioned him and his art. What's the procedure?

Thank you! --LevTi (talk) 09:03, 7 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@LevTi: Hello! To create such an article, I would advise starting a draft. There you can practice and work on writing without worrying about the work coming out fully formed and presentable. Other authors have more eloquently described the procedure on the following page: Wikipedia:Your first article.
I'm happy to help you along with this, and it's possible that an article exists on other language Wikipedias. Reconrabbit 15:00, 7 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Hi,
Please review this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Gregory_Pavlovich_Shpolyansky
I would like to create this article in Russian too. And, this article is about my grandfather. You comments and suggestions are appreciated. LevTi (talk) 21:24, 8 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Also, how can I add photos? LevTi (talk) 22:56, 8 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I have done some work to make the article resemble others in Wikipedia. If you want to refer to documents that are not online, that is also acceptable. I am concerned that just these three websites is not enough to establish the subject is a notable painter. Even if he was prominent, just this is not enough.
For photos, if you were the original photographer, you can upload these photos to Wikimedia Commons where they can be used on any language Wikipedia. However, if someone else took the photos, then you would need their permission, or otherwise be able to use them under copyright law. This is complicated and you would likely need someone else to assist you here.
If you would like to create the article in Russian, the Russian Wikipedia is here: ru:Заглавная_страница Reconrabbit 02:03, 9 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Reconrabbit, I've partially undone your changes to the Abstracting and indexing section with this edit due to this being the style primarily used for journal articles. Nobody (talk) 08:00, 11 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    I personally prefer MIAR/{{cite MIAR}} because it's a one-stop-shop that summarizes all the databases in one swoop. The only ones I like to cite separately are JCR/Scopus for the impact factor/ranking and citescore/ranking. Citing everything individually also works, it's just extremely tedious and I personally don't see what it adds over MIAR. Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 11:54, 12 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

On 15 March 2025, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Jameson's red rock hare, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Jameson's red rock hare (pictured) once had ten recognized subspecies, but now has none? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Jameson's red rock hare. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Jameson's red rock hare), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed.

Hi, in this edit to Optical properties of carbon nanotubes you use {{Harvnb|Namburu Srikanth and Anitha C. Kumar|2022|pp=11-12}}.

Thank you. --ManHattan42 (talk) 18:13, 1 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@ManHattan42, I can try and help you here. What is your relationship with this individual? Professional, personal interest, paid, or anything else? Knowing this will help you proceed in accordance with Wikipedia's guidelines. Help:Your first article will provide some basic information. Reconrabbit 18:28, 1 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
My relationship is personal, but his prevalence is objective. I would be happy to share more information as I think a third party would verify my confidence in his need for a Wikipedia page.
Thank You. ManHattan42 (talk) 18:39, 1 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
A name would be of help, as well as documentation of his accomplishments that would warrant this need for a Wikipedia page. Reconrabbit 18:55, 1 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
His name is Dr. Michael T. Longaker.
Here is a link to his page at Stanford University: https://profiles.stanford.edu/michael-longaker
Dr. Longaker was a member of the 1979 Michigan State basketball team that won a national title. His teammate Magic Johnson faced off against Larry Bird in what is commonly discussed as the game that changed college basketball and created the 'Madness' in March Madness. There are multiple books written about the rivalry between Magic and Bird such as 'When March Went Mad' by Seth Davis. Here is a link to a Stanford article describing this: https://scopeblog.stanford.edu/2019/03/20/from-march-madness-to-medicine-with-help-from-mentors/
Dr. Longaker went on to be valedictorian of his class at Harvard Medical School and then did his residency at NYU and UCSF -- he is board certified as a General Surgeon and Plastic Surgeon. This can be seen in his bio in the Stanford link.
Dr. Longaker also obtained an MBA from the now defunct joint executive program at Cal & Columbia University where he was also valedictorian.
Dr. Longaker made the discovery in the 1990s that you heal without a scar in your first two trimesters of life: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0022346805801654. This launched his career in wound healing. He would then go on to become the director of the Stem Cell Institute at Stanford University and publish more than 1300 papers -- an incredibly high number in the world of medicine. Dr. Longaker now runs the Longaker lab at Stanford, one of the most accomplished labs in the country. He has also started private ventures such as Arresto Biosciences (acquired by Gilead for $225MM). Here is a link to his profile at TauTona group, another private venture, that discusses his co-founder status of Arresto: https://tautonagroup.com/team/michael-longaker/.
There is numerous public information about Dr. Longaker as he has won countless awards. I think you will agree that a Wikipedia page is very fitting.
Thank you. ManHattan42 (talk) 19:57, 1 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
You've convinced me. A very rough draft has been put together here: Draft:Michael Longaker but I haven't got much time to keep working on it. I would recommend that you work on it as I can only get the surface level details. Also, have not been able to find anything regarding his date and place of birth. If he's stated such information somewhere on the web or in books I haven't found it, but such info falls under the guideline WP:ABOUTSELF and secondary or tertiary sources aren't required. Reconrabbit 21:03, 1 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Dear ReconRabbit,
Thank you for starting the draft. I will work on it in my limited free time. I have the information regarding his date and place of birth as a close family member. I will continue to read the guidelines and add to the article as needed. I will keep you updated!
Best Wishes. ManHattan42 (talk) 21:11, 1 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Signature contrast

[edit]

Hello! I love your signature, but.. I think it doesn't meet the minimum contrast requirements (see this contrast tool). Would you be willing to make the green a bit darker for those whose eyes are not as good? Thanks! —Femke 🐦 (talk) 07:55, 13 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

If I were to do so, it would fail contrast requirements on dark mode. Should I make a setting for this situation or just use a dark background? I feel like the styling already takes up enough space with the dark mode switch on the rabbit part (though it hasn't hit the max yet). Reconrabbit 15:17, 13 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I can't easily find what colour the background is in dark mode. Do you know? If it's #101010 (as ChatGPT claims while giving false sourcing), there is some wiggle room, and a colour like #558A24 might get closer to being accessible in both? —Femke 🐦 (talk) 15:54, 13 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I messed around with the exact shades and found one that satisfies the contrast ratios. For the record, I turned on dark mode and used an eyedropper tool on the background in GIMP, which told me that it was #000000. (Also noticed that it doesn't really contrast as well with black text, so I added two dashes) -- Reconrabbit 13:50, 14 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
