{{helpme}} A user named Campbellgirl has repeatedly deleted my edits on the article about "The Takeaway" a radio program from PRI produced at WNYC-FM. I strongly suspect that she is an employee of the show, or personally connected. If I am the one to undo her most recent edits it will simply turn into a duel. I don't know what to do next, could some disinterested third party just have a look? For perspective you should also take a look at "The Mix" to see what I am talking about there. Also please look at Campbellgirl's talk page to see where she has done these things in the past. Thank you. I am hoping for a referee here.

Last night I watched Bill Moyers' Journal on PBS-TV, and the main guest was William K. Black. He was amazing, insightful, and scary. He seemed to be telling the truth about our current banking crisis in a way I have never heard anyone tell it.
http://www.pbs.org/moyers/journal/04032009/watch.html
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/william-k-black
He has written a book titled "The Best Way to Rob a Bank is to Own One."
I tried to find the Wiki on this interesting person and couldn't find one. I am afraid my skills are too primitive -- I know that if I started a page other people could flesh it out and fix it. But I really don't even know where to start.

{{helpme}} The page for William K. Black has a request for a photo. I have received a photo from the P.R. Dept. of the Chancellor's Office at UMKC (where Black is on the faculty) stating that I can use it. At this point can I simply claim to own the image while uploading it or do I need to get them to use some specific language? I have looked at the Wikimedia rules and find them difficult to understand. Here is the text of the letter with names deleted. I think their intention is quite clear from this:
My name is Xxx Yyy, and I work in the University of Missouri-Kansas City public relations department. Bill Black had said you needed a photo of him, and I’ve attached black and white and color photos. Let me know if this works.
Thanks,

Hi There
I recently added a lot of information to the page "Mayors of New Brunswick, New Jersey" and decided to also add a new page, "Mayors of Highland Park, New Jersey." Here :
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_mayors_of_Highland_Park%2C_New_Jersey
Then I tried to do an internal link to the Highland Park, NJ article using the phrase "The mayor of Highland Park is Meryl Frank"
It didn't work, and when I looked in the index, my new page isn't there.
Do I just wait for it to be recognized or do I have to actively do something, other than just making the page?
[helpme]
Thank you
Affenbart.
PS my email is email removed, it's easier for me to get the reply that way but I will come back here as well.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Affenbart ( talk • contribs) 15:43, May 31, 2007
Thanks for uploading
Image:555y.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a
claim of fair use. However, it is currently
orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed.
You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see
our policy for non-free media).
If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the " my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 14:11, 9 September 2007 (UTC)

Hi there. Hopefully you'll remember me, from my trying to help you; well, now it's my turn to ask for help.
I'm trying to help re-launch an idea called "Spotlight". The notion is to select an article and work on it collectively, via live discussion, for one week. If lots of people get involved, it can work really well; in the past, the project died off through lack of participants. Anyone can help out, because that's the whole point - we have many and varied skills, but between us, we can do amazing things. So - please join the channel, and add yourself to the participants in WP:SPOTLIGHT. Thanks for your time! Chzz ► 22:27, 8 July 2009 (UTC)
{{helpme}} I was just editing the Jun Choi page -- he was the mayor of Edison for 4 years and was defeated in 2009. At present he does not hold public office and I don't think he has aspirations. The Wiki about him has been a constant see-saw of edits between people who hate him and people who think he is a saint. I am wondering if we even need an article about him any more?? FWIW I live in a nearby town, not in Edison, and I have no strong feelings either way, I think both sides are being petty and ridiculous. If we could just have a bland little article stating the facts that would be fine but it just doesn't seem to be possible, if you look at the edits and the Discussion page. I don't know how to nominate the article for deletion, or what the best solution is. Edits were frozen for a while on that page because of all the back and forth.
No. 1 - talk to us, with this. Chzz ► 00:34, 27 June 2010 (UTC)
One of the protest signs states that he was asked to leave because of cheating. If that is true, that probably should be on the page. That would be consistent with his not obtaining a degree. Affenbart ( talk) 04:14, 22 February 2011 (UTC)
The correct straw-man word choice would be "libelous" material. It appears Affenbart was asking a question, not making a statement (see: "if that is true...") Thus, he can hardly be accused of either libel (written or published untrue defamation) or slander (spoken untrue defamation) since he is not claiming anything to be true, merely asking whether it is. In the future, please try to assume good faith.-- Snarfherder ( talk) 04:03, 23 February 2011 (UTC)
