Question from Delhi UPSC Secrets (17:15, 15 August 2026)

Hello.. How can I contribute. I am interested to write wikipedia pages. Please help me how can I create this. --Delhi UPSC Secrets (talk) 17:15, 15 August 2026 (UTC)

Simulated Annealing page

I see you update the Simulated Annealing page a lot. I have put a major update up for discussion in the talk page. Any advice on how to move forward? Sychen (talk) 16:47, 2 September 2026 (UTC)

Sychen, you seem to have a much better handle on the subject than I do and have identified sources. It is fair to start with WP:BOLD changes to improve the article.

Question from Processman26 (02:08, 4 September 2026)

Can't get a soundtrack's track listing to reappear after a slew of preview warnings. Concerned that I might have mucked up the display without a way of undoing what I did, at least until such time as I can figure out how to get it right. It's the page titled Country Music (miniseries)--the Ken Burns one from back in 2019. --Processman26 (talk) 02:08, 4 September 2026 (UTC)

@Processman26, the {{Infobox album}} template doesn't support displaying a tracklist. I think you'll want to add a separate {{Track listing}} to display the track listing. ~Kvng (talk) 16:49, 5 September 2026 (UTC)

Question from Filmcontributorak (07:23, 5 September 2026)

Hi,

I hope you’re doing well.

My name is Rahul Sharma, and I manage Abhilash Kumar’s professional work and social media presence. I understand that you have been assigned as a mentor, and I wanted to reach out to you for your guidance regarding Abhilash’s presence on Wikipedia.

Abhilash Kumar is an Indian actor who has worked across Bollywood films, Indian television, television commercials, and print campaigns. He made his Bollywood debut in 2016 with Ghayal Once Again, alongside Sunny Deol, where he portrayed a prominent negative character. He subsequently appeared in Gabru Gang (2024) and most recently worked with Sunny Deol again in Batwara 1947, released on 14 August 2026.

In addition to his film work, Abhilash has been associated with several Indian television shows and has appeared in numerous television commercials and print campaigns for established brands.

At present, Abhilash does not have a Wikipedia biography. We would therefore sincerely appreciate your guidance on whether he meets Wikipedia’s notability requirements and, if so, whether it would be possible for you to assist us in creating or facilitating the creation of an appropriate Wikipedia page for him.

We completely understand Wikipedia’s policies regarding notability, reliable and independent sources, neutrality, and conflicts of interest, and we are committed to following the appropriate process and guidelines.

If possible, could you kindly guide us on the procedure and let us know what sources or documentation would be required? We would be happy to provide any relevant, reliable, and independently published material needed for the assessment.

Your guidance and assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Warm regards, Rahul Sharma Manager – Abhilash Kumar --Filmcontributorak (talk) 07:23, 5 September 2026 (UTC)

@Filmcontributorak, sure, let's start with the notability requirements. Notability is established by coverage of the subject in reliable sources. If you reply below listing the WP:THREE best sources you've found, I can help assess notability. ~Kvng (talk) 16:53, 5 September 2026 (UTC)

@Filmcontributorak, thanks, it would helpful if you identified the strongest article from each of the publishers - multiple articles from the same publisher (e.g., Times of India) are considered to be a single source for purposes of establishing notability. If possible, please try to identify the strongest WP:THREE sources in this entire list. The strongest sources are from the most WP:RELIABLE publishers and have WP:SIGCOV (not just passing mentions) of the subject. ~Kvng (talk) 15:38, 6 September 2026 (UTC)

Here are the links I have shortlisted .

1. is good but not great as WP:TIMESOFINDIA is not clearly a reliable source
2. does not have in depth coverage of Kumar
3. does not have a byline so is not clearly a reliable source
4. I doubt bollywoodlife.com is a reliable source
5. I doubt Urban Asian is a reliable source and there is no byline on this post and little of substance in the reporting
6. I doubt Dunya is a reliable source and there is no byline on this post and little of substance in the reporting

I think you're probably less than half way to establishing notability based on these sources. ~Kvng (talk) 15:56, 7 September 2026 (UTC)

Hi, thank you for your feedback. I understand your concerns regarding the sources.

Just to give you some context, Abhilash Kumar has been active in the Bollywood and Indian entertainment industry for over 20 years. He has worked in several films and television shows, along with music/entertainment projects, print shoots, and campaigns associated with international brands. He has also received substantial media coverage throughout his career.

Could you please guide me on what type of sources would be considered reliable and sufficiently substantial for establishing his notability? I can then specifically look for and share the strongest independent coverage that meets those criteria, rather than sending sources that may not qualify.

Thank you for your guidance. Filmcontributorak (talk) 16:04, 7 September 2026 (UTC)

Any of the sources in green at WP:RSP would clearly qualify as reliable. Significant coverage usually requires a paragraph focused on the subject. With actors, you can often find coverage in reliable sources of movies they're in with the names of the actors and something about the role they play mentioned in passing. You are trying to write a biography and a biography is inadequate if the only information supported by reliable sources is a list of the roles they've played.

WRT an appeal to experience in the field, there are two common-sense exceptions to the WP:GNG requirement for actors at WP:NACTOR. I don't think Kumar qualifies but go ahead and have a look. ~Kvng (talk) 17:10, 7 September 2026 (UTC)

Hi, thank you for your guidance. I completely understand the notability criteria you’ve shared.

In Abhilash’s case, he has had significant roles in notable Bollywood films and Indian television shows, and his name is consistently listed in the cast of the respective films/shows’ Wikipedia pages. The issue is simply that he does not yet have a dedicated Wikipedia biography, while many of his colleagues have profiles based on similar coverage.

Additionally, there are published articles about Abhilash in The Times of India, one of India’s leading newspapers. I’ve noticed that many actors’ Wikipedia biographies are supported by coverage from TOI and other established publications.

If you feel his existing work and independent coverage can meet Wikipedia’s notability requirements, could you please guide me on whether a page would be feasible and, if so, what reliable sources or additional documentation would be required? I would genuinely appreciate your guidance and help in taking this forward. Filmcontributorak (talk) 17:42, 7 September 2026 (UTC)

There are a lot of articles in existance that don't meet current Wikipedia standards. This doesn't mean we should create more articles with these problems, see WP:OTHERSTUFF. ~Kvng (talk) 17:48, 7 September 2026 (UTC)

Thank you, I completely understand your point, and I agree that the existence of other articles shouldn’t by itself be used as a reason to create another one.

I just wanted to clarify one thing. I went through the list of reliable sources and noticed the green ticks next to several established publishers. Is there a particular number of independent, reliable sources with significant coverage that you would consider sufficient to establish notability? How many of these are required for qualification?

And, assuming Abhilash meets the notability criteria, could you please guide me on what would be required afterward to proceed properly — for example, the type of sources, references, biography information, or any other documentation needed to draft the article according to Wikipedia’s current standards?

I’m happy to provide everything necessary and follow the proper Wikipedia process. I would really appreciate your guidance on this. Filmcontributorak (talk) 17:52, 7 September 2026 (UTC)

Two is adequate in many cases (see WP:MULTIPLESOURCES) and they don't necessarily need to be green ones from that list but they shouldn't be red ones. I would suggest finding three in this case because you have a conflict of interest on this subject and so a new article will get additional scrutiny.

If you are able to find the sources, I would suggest writing a WP:STUB with all information from and cited by those sources. It can be expanded later but a shorter article is easier to get published. ~Kvng (talk) 20:07, 7 September 2026 (UTC)

Perfect , I’ll try do it as per your guidance . Thank you so much for your help . Filmcontributorak (talk) 20:11, 7 September 2026 (UTC)

Happy to help. One more thing: you will need to disclose your COI. See WP:COIDISCLOSE for instructions. ~Kvng (talk) 20:24, 7 September 2026 (UTC)

Edited Hot dog Restaurants

hello. I'm in trouble. Probably a lot I added content to the category "hot dogs" on the list of restaurants page. After publishing the edit. The entire category "hot dogs is missing from the list https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=List_of_restaurant_chains_in_the_United_States&accountJustCreated=1#

🫤 Reading for knowledge (talk) 08:57, 11 September 2026 (UTC)

Hi @Reading for knowledge. No problem. All changes to pages are tracked. I undid your edit that removed the Hot dog section. The functions associated with reviewing and manipulating version history are available by clicking the View history tab at the top right of the article. If I can provide any help getting the intended new content in there, let me know. ~Kvng (talk) 14:43, 11 September 2026 (UTC)

Hello,Kvng

Thank you for your assistance returning the hotdog category.

.

I would like to add the content below to the hotdog category.

Across the top of the page are columns

Identifying elements of the restaurant.

|Name|Original Location|Founded|...

and so on...

The top of the following list goes to the "Name" column

2nd line to the "Founded" column and so on.

information required as follows.

Fort Wayne's Famous Coney Island

Fort Wayne, Indiana

1914

Fort Wayne, Indiana

1

Fort Wayne, Indiana.

The information is widely verifiable.

It is known to be the longest, continuously operated hotdog stand in the United States. Reading for knowledge (talk) 05:30, 12 September 2026 (UTC)

Editing tables can be tricky. HELP:TABLE has the information about how they work. Here's a copy of the table from the article:

Name	Original location	Founded	Headquarters	Number of U.S. locations	Areas served
Hot Dog on a Stick	Santa Monica, California	1946	Carlsbad, California	37	West
James Coney Island	Houston, Texas	1923	Houston, Texas	5	Texas
Nathan's Famous	Brooklyn, New York	1916	Jericho, New York	213	Nationwide
Portillo's Restaurants	Villa Park, Illinois	1963	Oak Brook, Illinois	107	Illinois, Indiana, Arizona, California, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Florida, Georgia, Iowa, Texas, Michigan
Sneaky Pete's	Birmingham, Alabama	1966	Birmingham, Alabama	30	Alabama
Ted's Hot Dogs	Buffalo, New York	1927	Buffalo, New York	9	New York, Arizona
Wienerschnitzel	Los Angeles, California	1961	Irvine, California	322	West, Texas, Louisiana, Illinois, Nebraska, Arkansas
Fort Wayne's Famous Coney Island	Fort Wayne, Indiana	1914	Fort Wayne, Indiana	1	Fort Wayne, Indiana

I've added the information you've suggested here. I do see a problem though. The list is about chain restaurants, and the business you want to add has only one location, so I don't think it is a chain and may not belong in this list. ~Kvng (talk) 15:10, 13 September 2026 (UTC)

hi Kvng.

If the parent topic is for chain restaurants probably shouldn't enter Fort Wayne's Famous Coney Island hotdog stand.

Out of curiosity I looked through each of the categories and found there are 2 other entries in other categories with only one restaurant.

I also found 6-8 that has only 2 locations.

Researching the qualification of "chain restaurants" Most definitions require a brand to have at least several locations (often four or more).

And a separate corporate parent company that controls the menus, the decor, recipes, food suppliers ect.

to be considered a true chain.

.

But I'm all for running a tight ship.

There is a place for everything and everything has a place.

.

There is another place I added FWFCIHS. The entry is seen in the list with all other restaurants but the text is read.

in any case I've got some reading to do.

Thank you for your time and patience. Reading for knowledge (talk) 09:56, 14 September 2026 (UTC)
