What is Go?

Go (碁), known in Chinese as weiqi (simplified Chinese: 围棋; traditional Chinese: 圍棋; pinyin: wéiqí; Wade-Giles: wei ch'i) and in Korean as baduk (hangul: 바둑), is an ancient board game for two players that is noted for being rich in strategy despite its simple rules.

Technical assistance re Infobox

Hi there, techie friends!

I've created a fledgling article, here: User:Trafford09/urban-Air Port, but it's not showing the contents of the Infobox. Pls could you advise me of my error, or indeed correct it? Then I'll scan your edit, to learn how you did it! Many thanks in advance, Trafford09 (talk) 11:44, 5 November 2021 (UTC)

Your infobox is showing, but you have no values in the various parameters, so it is (correctly) showing "no data". You will need to add values to the parameters such as |website= in order to actually display anything. If you want more help, stop by the Teahouse, or Wikipedia's live help channel, or the help desk to ask someone for assistance. Primefac (talk) 12:26, 5 November 2021 (UTC)

Well, that was very stupid of me, and thx for looking and pointing it out. I thought I'd put 2 parameters in, but of course 1 goes above the box, and my other was an unusual one which now I realise wouldn't appear. Sorry to have troubled you. Thx, Trafford09 (talk) 13:34, 5 November 2021 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Urban-Air Port

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Urban-Air Port requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from https://www.coventry.gov.uk/news/article/3691/world-first_electric_urban_air_port_secures_uk_government_backing. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.
