15 years ago, a film was made with memories of old residents of my city about what the city looked like in the 1930s-80s. The film was released in an analog version, and was also shown at a local cinema. Today you can find it as a series on YouTube divided into 15 episodes. |
|||
⚫ | |||
The film contains photos, plans and materials from the National Archives, and I have no doubt that they are historical sources. My question, however, is about the recorded memories themselves. At one, a person recounts that the building (about which I am writing an article) was converted into a military casino during WWII. However, I can't find information about this anywhere. Is such information with a footnote to the film suitable for publication on Wikipedia? --[[User:RadzynMojeMiasto|RadzynMojeMiasto]] ([[User talk:RadzynMojeMiasto|talk]]) 07:19, 2 July 2024 (UTC) |
|||
Hi. |
|||
:{{yo|RadzynMojeMiasto}} That's a good question! This is a question with a bit of a nuanced answer, but I think it's probably not a great source to use. I think it's reasonable to interpret the [[WP:RS|guideline on reliable sources]] as discounting something like anecdotes in a documentary interview. There is also an [[WP:IV|essay on interviews]] that may be tangentially relevant. Ultimately, I think perhaps the most relevant policy is what can be found [[WP:PRIMARY|here on primary sources]]. If you're able to incorporate the source into the article in a way that complies with these policies and guidelines, I think it'd be fine (maybe something with [[WP:INTEXT|in-text attribution]]?), but I think that might be difficult to achieve. I know this can be a bit confusing, so don't hesitate to reach out if you have further questions! '''[[User:AviationFreak|AviationFreak]]'''[[User_talk:AviationFreak|💬]] 14:54, 4 July 2024 (UTC) |

Hi! I’m trying to revise an edit from another editor, but after seeing revisions by other editors, it seems required to mention not only who’s edit you are revising, but also specifically what edit, using a long string of digits to denote it. Can you help me extract this string of digits from an edit? Thanks! --[[User:Krysler.m|Krysler.m]] ([[User talk:Krysler.m|talk]]) 16:18, 2 July 2024 (UTC) |

:{{yo|Krysler.m}} Hi! In general, it's not necessary to mention an editor/edit when revising it. Simply editing the page will allow you to make any desired modifications (from your contribution history, it seems you know your way around this). What I imagine you're seeing is editors ''[[WP:RV|reverting]]'' edits by others, which is common when things like vandalism or unsourced claims are added. These edits are often made semi-automatically, using tools like the [[WP:UNDO|undo]] feature or [[WP:HUGGLE|Huggle]]. These tools (at least the Undo tool, and I believe Huggle as well) will automatically create an edit summary like "Undid revision 1234567890 by A_User_Name (talk)". It is not necessary to add this edit summary when manually editing a page. I hope I've answered your question - feel free to let me know if you have others!
