== Funding for Wikipedia ==

Dear Sir or Madam

Why can't Google and other search engines

pay for Wikipedia ? <!-- Template:Unsigned --><small class="autosigned">—&nbsp;Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Fordnova|Fordnova]] ([[User talk:Fordnova#top|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Fordnova|contribs]]) 08:44, 3 December 2019 (UTC)</small> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

:Hello {{u|Fordnova}}! See for example [https://techcrunch.com/2019/01/22/google-org-donates-2-million-to-wikipedias-parent-org/ Google.org donates $2 million to Wikipedia’s parent org]. They contribute, but being funded by volontary donations is a big part of the WP "style". Slightly off-topic, but I thought this was interesting: "''[https://hbr.org/2019/11/how-should-we-measure-the-digital-economy Our research found that the median value that U.S. consumers place on Wikipedia is about $150 a year—but the cost is $0. That translates into roughly $42 billion in consumer surplus that isn’t reflected in the U.S. GDP.]''" [[User:Gråbergs Gråa Sång|Gråbergs Gråa Sång]] ([[User talk:Gråbergs Gråa Sång|talk]]) 09:09, 3 December 2019 (UTC)

:{{ec}}{{ping|Fordnova}} you could certainly make a case for that, given the extensive use they make of Wikipedia to fulfil search queries. However, one of Wikipedia’s founding principles is that the content is available under a Creative Commons license meaning that anyone can use it for free. And from Google’s point of view, having to pay for the content they list in results is a slippery slope which would pretty quickly take them to bankruptcy, I suspect. Either way, it’s probably not really a question we can answer properly here at the Teahouse, as this is more for queries about how to edit Wikipedia. [[User:Hugsyrup|<i style="background-color: Blue; color:#FFE">Hug</i>]]^{[[User_talk:Hugsyrup|syrup]]} 09:13, 3 December 2019 (UTC)

:See also [https://venturebeat.com/2018/12/20/facebook-donates-1-million-to-support-wikipedia/ Facebook donates $1 million to support Wikipedia]. Of course, FB ''may'' be less inclined to donate atm. A corresponding worry with large donors is "Ok, but does this mean that they are getting influence or good coverage on WP as a result?".

::"That translates into roughly $42 billion in consumer surplus that isn’t reflected in the U.S. GDP." There was an article recently that discussed how due to the digitalisation, we have so much 'hidden'/'free' value in our economies now, which are not reflected in GDP, that this is one of the reasons that GDP has become so much worse a metric than it used to be. Kind of an interesting dynamic. —[[User:TheDJ|Th<span style="color: green">e</span>DJ]] ([[User talk:TheDJ|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/TheDJ|contribs]]) 09:50, 3 December 2019 (UTC)

:I suspect many people would stop participating in Wikipedia as editors or readers if a large corporation such as Google or Facebook were to start to "pay for Wikipedia" (as the original question phrased it), since there is an underlying assumption that when you pay for something, you own it, and Google does not own Wikipedia content (they are free to use it but that is a different thing). It is important that no commercial entity should own the free content contributed by millions of volunteers from around the world who have donated their time. A slippery slope indeed, not from Google's point of view (which I don't give a fig about), but from Wikipedia's. --''[[User:Bonadea|bonadea]]'' <small>[[Special:Contributions/Bonadea|contributions]] [[User talk:Bonadea|talk]]</small> 10:21, 3 December 2019 (UTC)

== Draft References Help ==

Can someone look at this and tell me if I did the references correctly? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Mista_Roe [[User:Jonathandtaylor|Jonathandtaylor]] ([[User talk:Jonathandtaylor|talk]]) 04:50, 3 December 2019 (UTC)

: {{re|Jonathandtaylor}} Thanks for asking, but no, they appear to be mostly or all bare URLs. See the advice given to the questions above yours, and read [[WP:REFB]] [[User:RudolfRed|RudolfRed]] ([[User talk:RudolfRed|talk]]) 04:56, 3 December 2019 (UTC)

::{{ec}} Hello, {{U|Jonathandtaylor}}, and welcome to the Teahouse. I am afraid that the references in [[Draft:Mista Roe ]] are not really properly formatted. Most are bare URLs, and thus subject to [[WP:LINKROT|link rot]], none seem to give title, author, or date information. See my detailed comments on a different draft in [[#Draft Page improving references|the section just above]]. But cite format, while not unimportant, is far less important in a draft than finding [[WP:IS|independent]], published [[WP:RS|reliable sources]] to suport [[WP:N|notability]]. For example, the IMDB is not generally considerd reliable for much of its content. First get high-quality sources, then learn how to format them. [[User:DESiegel|DES]] [[User talk:DESiegel|^(talk)]][[Special:Contributions/DESiegel|_{DESiegel Contribs}]] 05:02, 3 December 2019 (UTC)

@ {{U|RudolfRed}} and @{{U|DESiegel}} Can you take another look at the references? Also do you see anything else you think I need to do?[[User:Jonathandtaylor|Jonathandtaylor]] ([[User talk:Jonathandtaylor|talk]]) 05:53, 3 December 2019 (UTC)

:I say delete the Interviews section, but curious what others say. [[User:David notMD|David notMD]] ([[User talk:David notMD|talk]]) 10:01, 3 December 2019 (UTC)

::Per the spirit of [[WP:ELMIN|Wikipedia does not attempt to document or provide links to every part of the subject's web presence]], yes. If something in them are useful as cites, use them for that. [[User:Gråbergs Gråa Sång|Gråbergs Gråa Sång]] ([[User talk:Gråbergs Gråa Sång|talk]]) 11:15, 3 December 2019 (UTC)

:::I agree, drop mthe intereveiws section totally, possibly using the links as refs if ther is any statement that they support which fits into the text. Drop IMDB and find a better source for that statement please. And the Discography should be text listing his works with supporting cites, not links to external sites. I made a few minor improvements in reference formstting, including combining two uses of the same source article. I could wish that there was more significant national or regional coverage of the subject. One or teo more signifdicant news storei and this is looking good. Also if there are several reviews with significant comment (good or bad) from reliable sources, a "Critical response" section can be added that quotes or summerizes teh reviews. Note that each must be cited and attributed in the text, Something like: {{tq|John Jones, writing in ''Blah Blah Magazine'' about the album ''Great Record'' said "The smnoothest collection of songs I have ever heard, but the rythem just isn't quit4e sharp enough."{citation here} }} Given that, this is looking close to appoval in my view.

==Blatant whitewash of Wikipedia page==

Someone has whitewashed [[Live India]] page. Likely paid editing. I don't know what to do in these cases. Can someone please look into it? Thank you. [[User:TryKid|TryKid]] ([[User talk:TryKid|talk]]) 14:31, 3 December 2019 (UTC)

:{{yo|TryKid}} thanks for the heads-up. Yes, a user who was subsequently blocked for undisclosed paid editing had removed some sourced criticism from the article and added some promotional text; I have reverted to the state the article was in before that happened, and then restored a couple of good edits that were more recent than the white-washing. The article may be a bit outdated now, but at least it is sourced and not an advert for the company. Feel free to improve it!

== Where do I request a Title change. ==

So This article https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dayton_Christian_School_System should exist, but under a different name. The Dayton Christian School “System” use to exist, but the system no longer exists, as the school, Dayton Christian School is the only school in the “System”. All the other schools are now independent schools. Where do I request a title change. Also, the article is being kept up to date as of this year, so it is being updated as “Dayton Christian School” and not the system.

== Use of company logo on wiki page ==

Hello, I would like to use our organisation's emblem on our Wikipedia page but was notified that I may be violating copyright. I am the creator of the image in behalf of my organization and have permission to use said emblem. My question is how to I grant copyright permission without "giving away the farm"? For example, Starbucks has their logo posted and must have granted a creative commons license, but you can't just use Starbuck's logo in your commercial works without a trademark violation. How does one manage this arrangement? <!-- Template:Unsigned --><small class="autosigned">—&nbsp;Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:TNewhouse|TNewhouse]] ([[User talk:TNewhouse#top|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/TNewhouse|contribs]]) 18:42, 3 December 2019 (UTC)</small> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

:{{u|TNewhouse}}, It is ''strongly discouraged'' not to edit about your organization. This consists of a conflict of interest and you must declare this. More info has been posted on your talk page. [[User:Interstellarity|Interstellarity]] ([[User talk:Interstellarity|talk]]) 19:10, 3 December 2019 (UTC)

:Hi TNewhouse, welcome to Wikipedia. The Starbucks logo is used according to the [[WP:FAIRUSE|fair use]] provision in US copyright law. Without going into all of the details, this means that a low resolution of the image can sparingly be used on Wikipedia in specifically for the purposes of providing encyclopedic commentary about the company (you'll notice that the Starbucks logo is used only twice, and only one one article). Starbucks did not release or licence their logo and neither did Wikipedia seek permission from them to use it; this kind of minimal usage is allowed under US law. As you'll see on the image's page, the logo is not licensed in the way most images on Wikipedia are, so it is still protected by copyright.

:Your question sounds like you are editing on behalf of a company or organisation - is that true? Wikipedia strongly discourages contributing to articles with which you have a [[WP:COI|conflict of interest]]. If you are being paid to edit Wikipedia, you '''must''' disclose this and should read [[WP:PAID]]. If you wish to create an article about a company you own or work for, I very strongly discourage you from doing this. Wikipedia has very strict standards about neutrality, and Wikipedia may not be used for [[WP:PROMO|promotion]] - if you do this, it is likely that any articles you create will be deleted and your account could be blocked. Also, you username looks like it refers to a company you own/work for? Is this true? Promotional usernames are also disallowed and you could be blocked and required to choose a new username. If your username does refer to a company you are associated with, you can request a change of username by going to [[WP:CHU]]. Does this help?

:I do work for the company I was writing about. This was my first time posting on Wikipedia and it appears I have made a mess! The article has been deleted and the logo as well.

== Page deleted ==

So I created a page for the technical fest of my college but after being accepted it was deleted. Reason being it's an event but the problem is that there is a category page for these events, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Technical_festivals_in_India

There are 30+ pages of the same kind as my page was and there are some pages with hardly any content. The page that I created has citation and was informational but it got deleted anyway. So, I wanted to ask what exactly is different in those pages and my page...

:{{ping|Shoaib Ahmed 00}} I can't see your article now it's been deleted, so I can't comment in detail on its content, but the reason it was deleted isn't because it's just an article about an event, but because it's an article about an event ''that does not credibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant''. You can do that by showing that the event has been the subject of significant coverage in multiple reliable sources. As to the existence of other articles, it's best to ignore that - the argument that '[[Wikipedia:Other stuff exists|other stuff exists]]' isn't a good argument for why ''your'' article should be kept. It's quite possible that some of those other articles should also be deleted, or maybe they meet the requirements in ways you don't appreciate, but it doesn't matter - ignore them, and focus on making your article compliant with Wikipedia policies.

:: {{Re|Shoaib Ahmed 00}} I have a somewhat alternative view. Examine those other articles (the "good" ones, anyway) to see how they are different from the one in question. Looking at [[Techfest]], for example, it has references to many newspaper articles discussing it in detail. While you don't need that many, maybe three such independent sources that discuss the subject in depth should be sufficient. Also, a short paragraph that compares and contrasts with other such festivals might help both the reviewer, and ultimately the readers of the article, understand how/why the subject is relevant. <span style="color:red">—[</span>[[User:AlanM1|<span style="font-variant:small-caps;color:green">Alan</span><span style="color:blue">M</span><span style="color:purple">1</span>]]([[User talk:AlanM1#top|talk]])<span style="color:red">]—</span> 19:56, 3 December 2019 (UTC)

I left the links in the text but hid them. Books are good to list, but not articles. For example, imagine how long any weekly columnist's article would be if they listed every column they wrote.
