Your submission at Articles for creation

I noticed your submission in Articles for creation, Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Hamlet (1980 BBC television version). Thanks! It will be reviewed by a volunteer soon.

Before it can be added to Wikipedia, your submission should have references. All articles on Wikipedia should have inline, numbered references after facts, showing the 'reliable source' (a newspaper, book, etc.) where the information can be checked, so that all information is verifiable.

Here's a video tutorial - hit play, then right-click for "full screen".

Here's an example of how to add references:

Chzz is 98 years old.<ref> "The book of Chzz", Aardvark Books, 2009. </ref>

He likes tea.<ref> Smith, John. "[http://foonews.com/Article42 Interview with Chzz]", Foo News, 1 April 2010. Retrieved 2011-05-22. </ref>

== References ==

{{reflist}}

That makes the references automatically display as small numbers^[1] which will link to the details in the section titled == References == at the end. You can see that example in action here.

Please add references to your submission, which will be reviewed as soon as possible. See also, Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners. If you need any help, just put {{helpme}} at the end of this page, followed by a question or get into our live help chat chanel at #wikipedia-en-help ^connect.

Regexp search intitle

Hi, I want to search for living people with particular initials, for example for living people with the initials DP. However, I don't think asterisks are recognized as wildcards when they follow intitle. For example, I don't get any results when I search for intitle: (D* P*) incategory:"living people", even though there is a Wikipedia article on Douglas Preston, a living novelist who's categorized as a living person. Similarly, when I search intitle: (Taj Mahal), I get the article on the Taj Mahal, but I don't get any results when I search for intitle: (T* Mahal). Can someone help me figure out how I can run my search? Thanks for your help, Clark

There's a tool on the toolserver that allows you to search for article titles with regular expressions: grep. Huon (talk) 23:07, 14 May 2013 (UTC)

Hi Huon, I've looked at that tool. It does have regular expressions, but it doesn't have the ability to restrict the search to the article title. Do you have any other suggestions? Thanks for your help, Clark

Quite the contrary, that tool (and this very similar one) only searches page titles, not page content. There are a few caveats: Firstly, the regular expression for "D* P*" is actually "D.* P.*". Secondly, I don't see how the search could be restricted only to certain categories (which probably means these tools aren't all that helpful for your purpose after all). Thirdly, these tools are slow. I've had a look at both Help:Searching and Wikipedia:Tools#Searching; you may want to double-check, but I don't think what you want is possible with the current tools. I heard more knowledgeable people mention the term "API", but I have no idea how that works. Huon (talk) 00:18, 15 May 2013 (UTC)

Also for the record, T* Mahal does net back Tah Mahal. It's listed as the 7th item down. It's simply trumped by other articles that have Mahal in it as well as words starting with T. As you pointed out it does a full article search, not a title search. Mkdw^talk 00:19, 15 May 2013 (UTC)

I saw your question at the help desk. The only tool I know of that can search article titles and content in a controlled way is the Wikipedia:AutoWikiBrowser/Database Scanner. But for that you will need to download a copy of the text of Wikipedia - currently a nine gigabyte download - and then each search takes at least 20 minutes.

But over at User:John of Reading/Sandbox is a list of 2252 articles where the title begins with a "D" and has another word beginning with a "P", and where the article text contains the phrase "Living people". This used the April 4th database dump, so the results are six weeks out of date. If you'd like me to run other searches like this, drop a note on my talk page. -- John of Reading (talk) 07:58, 15 May 2013 (UTC)

2 question about searches

Hi, I have 2 more questions about searches.

First, it seems that when I used wildcards, exact matches are priviledged over full matches. For example, when I search for 'E* H* incategory:"20th-century American novelists"' I don't get "Ernest Hemingway" in the first 20 results. I tend to get articles with isolated E or H's in the article title or text, for example "H. D." for Hilda Doolittle. It's only when I search for 'Ernest H* incategory:"20th-century American novelists"' that I get "Ernest Hemingway as the first result. Is there a way to reconfigure the search so that I can get "Ernest Hemingway" in the first 20 result when I search for 'E* H* incategory:"20th-century American novelists"'?

Second, is there way for me to search for an article that is in a subcategory of a category? For example, Earnest Hemingway is in the category "20th-century American novelists", which is ultimately in the category "writers". However when I search for 'Ernest H* incategory:"writers"', I don't get any results because no one is directly classified into writers. Is there a way I can look for authors who are in any subcategory of the category "writers"?

Thanks for your help,

Clark

The short answer to both questions is "no". When I looked through the various search tools for your last question I found this - it allows searching in subcategories, but for all I can tell it doesn't allow searching by terms, only by templates. Huon (talk) 19:57, 16 May 2013 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of File:The four trees--Claude Monet--1891--oil on canvas--82 x 81.5 cm--the Metropolitan Museum of Art--four poplars on the banks of the Epte River near Giverny.jpg

A tag has been placed on File:The four trees--Claude Monet--1891--oil on canvas--82 x 81.5 cm--the Metropolitan Museum of Art--four poplars on the banks of the Epte River near Giverny.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia.

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 removed 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. -- ТимофейЛееСуда. 23:17, 20 December 2013 (UTC)
