A valid & cited account of topic relevant information was removed, reason being the cite didn't show the content. HBO is a paid service and yes, if you have HBO you can see exactly what I stated 18 min into the video, so is paid content censored by Wiki? If so, they have much to remove, e.g. all paid news sources, e.g. any newspaper reference, or anything paid for that matter that could potentially block out some readers. Seems this must be a procedural thing, at least I hope so! Please advise of proper procedure.
That said, how do we report dead/removed citations?
My post was as follows:
Encina is seen and heard slapping Ms. Bland across her face, she recoils away and says "Don't touch me." and she asks why she is being apprehended, in the footage aired in the HBO Documentary [1]— Preceding unsigned comment added by Dmchtl ( talk • contribs) 23:14, 3 December 2018 (UTC)

Attn:TransporterMan, I'm new at this, so just learning the html (or whatever the language this is), so a lot of trial/error & copy/paste of "code". The original footage actually does show the slap, so I referenced the primary footage, but still do wonder about ref a paid source, which is still my interpretation of their comment. But now a new question regarding "signing" which I did see elsewhere, but unsure exactly where to do this? Just " Dmchtl ( talk) 07:44, 4 December 2018 (UTC)" after anything I post, or could you ptovide a screenshot example? TY! So here goes my next trial/error. Please bear with me folks!

Here, an editor has deleted a section of the article " Unicode input" noting, accurately, that the section does not contain adequate citations. However, the section in question, "Selection from a screen", is an essential part of the article. The article lead – the second sentence – reads:
Unicode characters can be produced either by selecting them from a display or by typing a certain sequence of keys on a physical keyboard.
Without the deleted section, the article treats only the option to type appropriate keys on a keyboard; the option to select characters from a display is not covered at all (though the lead contains an orphaned image of such a display).
Rather than leave it in its current inadequate state, should the entire article be deleted? Pageviews yesterday, 12/04/2018, numbered over 300. A week ago, 11/28/2018, they numbered 384. Hundreds of other articles link to it. Deletion of " Unicode input" does not seem appropriate.
I have addressed the problem at " Talk:Unicode input#Selection from a screen and WP:BURDEN". The editor referred to, who has now deleted the section twice, has not responded. As I say on the talk page, while I do use some techniques from the article, I never use those discussed in the deleted section; I am unfamiliar with them and unwilling to undertake the considerable research effort that would be required to add appropriate citations.
What can be done?
I recognize that the instructions for this page ask that I use the {{

Wikipedia coverage of firearms ( | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)
I'm a fairly frequent new page reviewer, but have recently come across an issue I do not know how to address. I recently came across an article which covers Wikipedia's coverage of a controversial topic.

I'm sorry if this isnt' the right place to post this. I have only been editing Wikipedia for a few weeks. Here is the problem I am having. I think an editor has undisclosed conflict of interest, but I'm not sure. I have read WP:COI and other articles around the conflict of interest policy, but I'm not sure if the editor has COI or not. This involves possible WP:OUTING of an editor, so I am going to avoid refering to the editor's name or the articles they have edited.
Here is the issue:
John Doe is an editor on Wikipedia. John Doe edits articles related to a UK government project known as project X. Project X was outsourced to Company A. They not declared any relationship to Project X or Company A.
Project X and Company A are very controversial. John Doe has very strong negative feelings about Project X. Almost all of John Doe's edits are on Project X and related articles. They has been involved in editing the Project X article and the Criticisms of Project X article. He has claimed that there were no positive elements of Project X. He has removed POV templates on the Project X article. In my opinion, the articles on Project X and the criticisms of Project X article are very biased. For example, prior to my editing, it used wording such as "company A was forced to reveal that.." or "company A reluctantly implemented...".
The criticisms of Project X article describes a former Company A employee, who blew the whistle on poor practice in Company A while working on Project A. The articles referencing this all came from a national British news organisation. I saw in the references that the former Company A employee who blew the whistle is also called John Doe. I have done a Google search and found numerous media references to John Doe's actions. Company A has also written a public response to John Doe's claims. However, John Doe is not a very well-known person.
However, John Doe the editor has not ever said he is the same person as John Doe the whistle blower from Company A. John Doe's real name is not very uncommon, but not very common either. I am unsure if:
1. John Doe the editor is the same person as John Doe the former Company A employee. 2. John Doe the editor is a different person who has chosen to name their account after John Doe the former Company A employee. 3. John Doe the editor and John Doe the former Company A employee co-incidentally have the same name.
I have two questions.
Firstly, if John Doe the editor is the same person as John Doe the former Company A employee, would there be a conflict of interest? Secondly, based on John Doe the editor sharing their name with John Doe the former Company A employee, along with John Doe's editing pattern, would it be reasonable to assume that John Doe the editor is the same person as John Doe the former Company A employee?

The table on there is pushed down a bit because of the infobox, changing the table to be 85% would remove the space between the top text and the table and the infobox would flow along its side. But then the empty space would be along the right of the article from the space under the infobox. This change wouldn't constrict any text or make the images smaller, would this be preferable or is it better to allow the space and instead let the table flow to the right of the article? -glove- ( talk) 00:24, 7 December 2018 (UTC)
AN OPEN LETTER TO WIKIPEDIA: If you consider yourself to be a fair and balanced continuum then why do you forbid researchers, historians and people who may know more than your editorial staff (which is evident from their own LACK of research and reading) to make changes to the Oxfordian site ~ I thought anyone within reason who was knowledgeable on the topic could make additions or edit information they find false. On that site most if it is, untrue -- and it is time you let people who know better correct all the errors and lies. You are operating under false pretexts and I would imagine there is some legality involved. You can't just play god because you want to pass judgment on something you don't understand.
When I was recently at the Folger Library I learned they had hidden Edward de Vere's Geneva Bible in the vault under lock and key! And all because Professor Roger Stritmatter had discovered the marginalia contained in that bible was notes for the plays Edward de Vere was writing under the pseudonym Shake-speare. He wrote his doctoral thesis on this. I asked a Folger librarian why they kept it down in the vault when such a great finding should be on display and they told me there's not enough room to display all the things down there! Like you, they play god for their guy, not even considering that perhaps there are other Belief systems out there, people who might want to see that. Stratfordman is like a religion to you people. I hope this breaks wide open in my lifetime and the truth is to finally out, no thanks to you or the Folger lying library! Vero Nihil Verias. There is nothing truer than truth.

Numerous Wikipedia articles on Canadian Coast Guard ships are referencing an incorrect convention for identifying vessel classes. https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=User_talk%3AVintageCCG&type=revision&diff=874948554&oldid=874930753
The Canadian Coast Guard (CCG) lists its vessel classes in its CG Operations Order 103.00 (attached below) but somebody has identified the vessel classes by naming them for the first ship in that class e.g. a "Martha L Black"-class ship rather than a "High Endurance Multi-Task Vessel HEMTV" as named in the published CCG policy. That naming convention is common in naval fleets but is not utilized by the CCG. This is not a subjective description I am seeking to correct but a factual inaccuracy that will confuse anyone who is seeking to understand the vessel classes of the CCG. Similar errors have been published on related Wikipedia articles describing other vessel classes of the CCG.
I edited the article but my edits were reverted by Llammakey who accused me of vandalism, conflict of interest and unconstructive edits. I provided an explanation including the authoritative source link, but the editor cited a (presumably mistaken) secondary source as taking precedence. The authoritative source is here: http://www.ccg-gcc.gc.ca/e0013696 and here: https://inter-j01.dfo-mpo.gc.ca/fdat/vessels/vessel-details/84
I am seeking assistance in understanding the best means of correcting these inaccuracies. Thanks! VintageCCG ( talk) 19:02, 22 December 2018 (UTC)

relevant bios: Archibald Clark Kerr, 1st Baron Inverchapel ( | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) Reginald Herbert, 15th Earl of Pembroke ( | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)
A letter Kerr wrote to Pembroke is quoted in both bios. Taken in context it's a clever joke in a private letter between two men in a different era than ours living through extraordinarily trying times. It's also off-color; misogynist; and racist. It's jarring to find it in Wikipedia, particularly in the Pembroke bio where it is simply described as "an amusing letter"
It would be great if someone with higher editing privileges/insights could take a look and decide whether it needs to come out or whether it needs more framing. IMHO it just doesn't belong here at all. It's a minor anecdote that doesn't add value or insight. (Certainly not in the Pembroke bio.) But rather than remove it I'm flagging it here for review.

Florine Stettheimer ( | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)
I am the acknowledged international scholar (PhD on the artist Florine Stettheimer from Yale Univeristy, co-curator of her first museum retrospective at the Whitney Museum since her death in 1946, author of the only extent, factual biography on the artist, author of numerous books and articles on her, quoted extensively by every subsequent major book/catalog/article on her and her work.)
When I read the Wikipedia article on Stettheimer about six months ago, I saw there were a number of false statements, inaccuracies, and exaggerations, that are among the many that have been promoted over the years in the text. I spent several hours re-writing a great deal of the text in order to make it factually accurate, and to provide a great deal more information. I also quoted extensively, and referenced my biography of the artist from 1995 (Yale Press.)
The "editor" "Dreamy Jazz" DELETED all of my remarks, saying I did not quote "acknowledged sources" although all my sources are listed on any search for Florine Stettheimer bibliography or library, and I had to register a "dispute" on Wikipedia to get SOME of the major information and inaccuracies I corrected put back in the Wikipedia Florine Stettheimer entry.
However, when I went to look at the entry the other day, a number of false facts and inaccuracies remain. I therefore spent another 3 hours! adding a great deal more information about her schooling, her early work, many of her most important paintings, and took out ridiculous information such as that she wanted her work "buried with her" when she died when, in fact, she wanted all her paintings and work donated to a museum as a single collection which is what she specifically informed her family to whom she left her work in her will. I know, as I spoke in person several times to her lawyer Joseph Solomon while he was still alive in the 1990s.
I saved all of my additions to the Florine Stettheimer entry which was now very extensive and helpful to anyone interested in learning about the artist. However the next day, "Dreamy Jazz" had deleted it ALL AGAIN.
I would greatly appreciate someone looking over all of my additions to the text, judging what I added, and please either adding them back, or letting me know WHY they were deleted. Thank you. Barbara Bloemink, PhD Barbarabloemink ( talk) 00:17, 5 January 2019 (UTC)
.....John/TransporterMan/Grabergs Graa Sang/ First of all, I don't know if I HAVE a "talk page" but I just tried to add something to the "stettheimer talk" page explaining why there is a different birth date for her in Britannica entry and what I have in my biography. 2nd) despite what DreamyJazz wrote when she first deleted my attempt at fixing the Stettheimer entry, I DID HAVE PUBLISHED VERIFIED FACTUAL SOURCE INFO I WAS CITING FOR WHAT I WROTE IN MY YALE PRESS 1995 STETTHEIMER BIOGRAPHY!!! (which was my Yale PhD dissertation on Stettheimer.) I was also citing an essay I wrote on Stettheimer in a published book, Women in Dada, and another essay I wrote in a book on Women in the Decorative Arts. I happened to 1x want to cite my upcoming revised biography which apparently was not acceptable however all of you are jumping on only that 1 fact. THE CURRENT ISSUE IS DIFFERENT!!! 20 yrs after Stettheimer died, a book was written about her by someone who didn't know her, and admitted he exaggerated and MADE THINGS UP about her! Among these things is that she was never exhibited publicly except to special friends, and wanted her paintings buried with her when she died. (just to name 2 outright lies.) for 40 years many writers INCLUDING ART CRITICS AND CURATORS have been repeating these incorrect statements which have continued to marginalize her and the true significance of her work, ignoring the actual facts: Stettheimer exhibited 46+ times at major museums like the Whitney and MOMA in her life - yet the Whitney current catalog still says she "never exhibited publicly." SO WHICH IS THE SOURCE WIKIPEDIA CITES? the current Whitney catalog which is a lie, or all the many museum and exhibition catalogs from 1917-1945 that show Florine Stettheimer paintings included? One is untrue, the other is a hard fact? OR like the statement still in your entry on Stettheimer with the source from the recent Jewish Museum exhibition that she wanted her paintings buried with her....that is a complete fabrication by the man who wrote about her in 1960 and admitted at the time that he "made things up about her." In fact, as her lawyer, Joseph Solomon, showed me in 1995, Stettheimer explicitly told her sisters prior to her death that she wanted ALL of her work given to a single museum as a "collection," and if not possible, at least donated to museums because she knew it was well thought of enough for them to accept it. Which, by the way, it was - every major museum in the US accepted a Stettheimer painting into its permanent collection after her death. No where in her will does it say ANYTHING about her wanting her paintings buried with her. Yet I am not able to change that in your Wikipedia entry even though I have published several articles and a biography clearly describing her final will, written a few days before her death.'Italic text
the problem is I don't KNOW HOW to format Wikipedia-style. It is very very difficult as are all your pages of "instructions" - I barely figured out how to "sign" my entries and find this page! in order to add/answer your comments.

Just show me/allow me to add the content and the sources, and then please have someone who knows how, edit it according to the "right" Wikipedia format for me, so that the entry will be there for future students, interested readers, scholars, the public, to have comprehensive biography, story of the development, innovations, and significance of the life and art of Florine Stettheimer.

........THANK YOU JOHN! you are being very understanding, considerate and helpful and it is greatly appreciated. I will do exactly what you suggest, write out my suggested changes/edits on the Talk Stettheimer page, but how do I ensure that someone will make those changes to the Stettheimer entry??? Also, I can factually list the first and every Whitney Biennial, MOMA early exhibition, Paris Salon, and virtually every one of the 46+ exhibitions Stettheimer showed her work in during her lifetime as sources to demonstrate as facts that the Whitney Museum Collection catalog falsely states that she "rarely exhibited during her lifetime except to special friends" and is a non-reliable/FALSE source. If I were to list all or even 20 of the catalogs that Stettheimer exhibited in as factual PROOF that the Whitney curator did not do her research (I know her obviously and the Director is aware of this) would Wikipedia then, finally, decide to not use the Whitney catalog and statement as a valid source??? Anyway, thanks to your kind and helpful suggestions, I will try and do what you suggest on the Stettheimer Talk page. I also want to add a great deal of additional information to the entry - and that means adding (and taking out/changing the numbering for) new sources/footnotes which I will do directly next to the content in the same lines, and hope someone will then format and put that into the entry text properly. Again, None of This is for Me!!!! Everything I am doing is for the benefit of future readers, scholars, researchers, persons interested in the life and art work of Florine Stettheimer, a highly important, early feminist, innovative modernist 20th century American artist. I only want her entry to be as factual, truthful, comprehensive, and informative based on actual primary research of her writings, her artwork, and the writing of people who actually knew and/or worked with her during her life. -- Barbarabloemink ( talk) 18:30, 6 January 2019 (UTC)Barbara Bloemink Barbarabloemink ( talk) 18:30, 6 January 2019 (UTC)January 6, 2018
.........Grabergs Graa Sang - if you will please read what I keep reiterating in all my statements and more particularly what I have written on the "Talk: Florine Stettheimer" page, All of my sources are reliable, PRIMARY, factual sources: either the writings of the artist herself, writing during her lifetime by media about her or by her friends/people she worked with who knew her!!!! I am attempting to Correct the lies and exaggerations that have continued to be copied from a book written by a man written 20 years after her death who admitted IN THE BOOK that he "exaggerated" what he wrote and made up or fantasized ideas about her. However because they are funny or make her seem eccentric, such as that she "wanted her paintings buried with her when she died" - which is a complete falsehood but remains written in published articles and is in the Wikipedia entry - continues to prevent Stettheimer from being taken seriously as a professional, ambitious, serious artist! Instead, as I spoke to her lawyer who wrote her revised will with her in the hospital a few days before she died, she wanted all her paintings donated to major museums - which they were. And I use my Yale University published biography, where I footnote my meeting with the lawyer, as a "reliably published, source." I do not think Wikipedia wants to keep false statements in its entries for bald inaccuracies to be passed on into the future? Similarly read my statement above re: the Whitney's catalog, written by a curator who is not an expert and obviously did not do a great deal of in-depth research on Stettheimer, vs the REALITY of how many times Stettheimer actually exhibited her work during her lifetime. I can cite the titles of All 46 actual exhibition catalogs in which she exhibited as proof in order to demonstrate why the so-called sources that are in your entry implying she was reluctant to exhibit are incorrect, but I don't that that is a good use of space.

FWIW the main article in question at this point is Uridine monophosphate and the most recent IP was User talk:2603:3024:400:7400:C9ED:A813:B60:214B. The changes being made revolve around health claims being made by manufacturers of supplements, based on flimsy evidence; the IP user is removing statements pointing out the inadequacy of the evidence. I reverted similar changes made under their previous IP to Red Bull, but the IP user hasn't changed that back. I can also see another editor reverted similar changes to Rhodiola rosea.

In the article Elizabeth Elmore, it says "Elmore passed the Chicago Bar around 2004", with a cite to an article in the Boston Globe which indeed says she "just passed the Chicago bar" in October 2004.
The only thing is, there is no Chicago bar, in the sense of a bar exam. The linked-to article on the "Chicago Bar" is to the Chicago Bar Association, which is a voluntary local Chicago association of lawyers that has nothing to do with bar admissions or bar exams. Bar admission is handled at the state level, by the Illinois Board of Admissions to the Bar. the IL BAB administers the Illinois bar exam ( [3]; now the Uniform Bar Examination, but it would have been a state-specific bar exam back in 2004, the date of the Boston Globe article; the state is changing to the UBE starting this year).
The Boston Globe article is clearly wrong; but the stuff I just wrote above is clearly WP:OR.
I'm aware of WP:Verifiability, not truth, but still, should we have information in the article that we know to be wrong? Should we replicate known errors in otherwise reliable sources? I have no sense that the Globe is not a reliable source for most matters; but perhaps an entertainment writer is not a reliable source for legal matters?
One approach would be to just strike the bit about her passing the bar, but I don't think that there's any question that she passed the state bar (the Illinois state Supreme Court roster lists her as having been admitted to practice in Illinois in November 4, 2004), so I would rather not lose the information that she is an attorney.

Hello. I am currently creating a series of articles about the Italian army in my sandbox. One of them uses a high number of tables. I have tried, but failed, to find an answer to my question at Module:Wikitable and Template:Wikitable. If you would please look at User:Noclador/sandbox/Alpini WW1#Operational Deployment you will see a table with three columns and in each column the text begins at a different height.

Hi I'd just like some help as to the policies around these controversial topics. I've tried really hard to get help with several notices, but it seems quite clear to me that the edits I'm trying to make in regard to their connections with ADHD are being deleted without discussion, and no one else comments. So I'm a bit of an impasse. I've been asking for help from the start, and only one editor has helped me add anything since 12.12.2018. When their edits were put in what they considered to be a more appropriate space in social media addiction they were deleted too. It's all linguistics - the terminology is moving away from "addiction", but we can see that "overuse" "association between digital media use and symptoms" are all the same thing on the same topic. I'm not married to any linguistics, we just have to arrive at consensus. But the medical correlates have to be somewhere. I'm concerned about the false balance of the absence of the medical correlation - which is finally proven in a well designed prospective study, in both pages.

Hello. I have been a regular contributor to the National Hockey League's teams season pages for over two years now. Since October of 2018, there has been this other contributor who constantly adds misinformation on a team's player statistics section. This user also does not re-organize the players in the statistics section based on a player's total number of points from most points to least, which is what it is supposed to be ordered by. The pages that this user contributes to are the following, 2018–19 Vancouver Canucks season, 2018–19 Calgary Flames season, 2018–19 Edmonton Oilers season, 2018–19 Winnipeg Jets season, 2018–19 Toronto Maple Leafs season, and 2018–19 Montreal Canadiens season. When this contributor first started editing, I believed they were just making accidental numerical errors. However, they have constantly been adding incorrect information since October. Their information also does not come from a reliable source such as NHL.com. I believe that they manually calculate the information, which is why it is often incorrect. I have notified this user many times about both of these issues, and they believe that these are just "easy fixes", and that it is "not that big of a deal". They have also refused to listen to any of the suggestions that I have provided them with. Other editors have also made complaints about this in regards to the statistics being ordered to the user's own satisfaction, and also for their usage of two accounts, which I believe is sockpuppeting. I will provide a link to NHL.com's player statistics - Stats so that you are able to navigate the website. Is there anything that could be done in regards to this situation? Or will I have to continue to deal with this person being able to edit these pages? Any sort of assistance would be appreciated. Yowashi ( talk) 03:53, 15 January 2019 (UTC)[[

Microwave auditory effect ( | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) The topic of Electronic Harassment is considered a conspiracy theory. I know wikipedia is biased towards science and all the rest, but there are facts from reliable sources that are being suppressed. For example, on the Microwave Auditory Effect Page, a more senior editor than I, sirlanz, tried to add well-sourced information about 'Project Hello', but then received accusations of edit warring. Ultimately, his edit was suppressed and he was banned, a first in his 11 year history here. I myself have tried to make 11 edits to the EH page, after extensive communication on the talk page, but every edit is reverted. Other editors then threaten me with a 'ban' and accuse me of 'edit warring'. The outcome of this process is a page of disinformation which suffers from POV biases. If wikipedia is to be a neutral encyclopedia, we cannot allow certain editors to gang up on others in order to suppress information. Please take a look at these pages and let me know what you think. The process I have been through thus far seems to represent the worst of wikipedia. -- PaulGosar ( talk) 05:34, 16 January 2019 (UTC) Any suggestions besides boilerplate non-answers?

So I'm not sure if this is the entirely correct venue to ask this question, but I would like someone to clarify whether these sources are meant to be italicized or not: MTV News and Idolator. Now my understanding of this is that they're not print sources, so we do not italicize them. Look at featured articles Lady Gaga and Katy Perry which do not italicize these sources and use them with the publisher parameter which also affirms this. The user Ss112 does not have an understanding of this and keeps reverting me whenever I correctly use them without italics. See this edit for example. I am hoping someone can explain this concept to them. (Note:The reason I came here and didn't go to their talk page is because they have asked me not to post there)-- N Ø 15:02, 18 January 2019 (UTC)

After reading the childhood/early life section of your article I wondered if it is it possible to collect or access forensic evidence that might support my theory that his maternal grandfather is actually his own father? Because his father was never successfully identified and bec both his grandmother and grandfather seemed to be mentally disturbed (and also his grandmother went through electroshock therapy) it could be possible that his grandfather conceived of him with his own daughter (Ted’s mom) which was covered up and also might explain why the grandfather got upset when Ted questioned his paternity. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Danaglassboyko ( talk • contribs) 00:51, 26 January 2019 (UTC)

Hi, 1. Help is needed to determine the sources are reliable for Seran Kim. As a film director, I think IMDb, PRNewswire, and nyu.edu should be considered reliable. If you agree, please help to remove the unreliable source tag. 2. Short film Director who wins awards should be considered notable. For example, there are many short film wikipedia pages. Also, Mat Kirkby is a short film director and James Lucas (screenwriter) a short film producer and they do not have a proposed deletion tag. It is unfair that Seran Kim is singled out for deletion.

Hello, This is in regards to the page Relative energy deficiency in sport.
I am a member of the Female Athlete Triad Coalition, which is a non-profit organization founded to educate the public of the health consequences associated with the condition. I noticed that when searching for the female athlete triad wiki page, it is now redirected to the "relative energy deficiency in sport" page, as of December 2018. This change is not accurate, as they are in fact separate entities. Without going into too much detail, the RED-S group has tried to "re-brand" this condition with out the knowledge (or approval) of the researchers/ physicians who make up the Female Athlete Triad Coalition. Triad research has been conducted for the past 30 years and because RED-S is new (est. 2014), there is no scientific evidence to support that Triad and RED-S are one in the same.
We tried to remove the "re-branding" comment and do not wish to remove RED-S entirely, but it should have it's own separate page with relevant content. Currently, the RED-S page covers solely Triad material, which is inaccurate.
We please ask that Female Athlete Triad and RED-S remain separate pages until there is an official consensus on this topic.

The IOC expert working group introduces a broader, more comprehensive term for the condition previously known as ‘Female Athlete Triad’...

Per WP:ETHNICITY,
In the case of actors, athletes and activists, I do believe this is very notable:
I have noticed certain users being very adamant in removing any mention of "XX-American" or "XX-born Canadian" without really taking into consideration the subject and how the XX may be relevant.
One such user is very active in this. I'm trying to use this to better understand the situation before I approach anyone else on this, if indeed they are correct.
A couple random examples:
Which brings me to ask another question. If someone is born in a country and there is no source they have renounced that citizenship (and the country has dual-citizenship) is there additional onus to prove they are of that citizenship? Because most times we don't have a source about whether someone is American or Canadian citizen either, the wording just seems to go by where they are either born or living in, but that doesn't prove they are citizens necessarily. So then isn't that onus then being inconsistently applied? ~ DA1 ( talk) 05:40, 10 February 2019 (UTC)
Band-Maid ( | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)
I've been working on Wikipedia for ten years now and edited thousands of articles, mostly for the Wikipedia:WikiProject Albums. I have also written my fair share of articles about music artists and some of them reached the Good status on Wikipedia. The fellow wikipedian Hatto0467 asked me to write an article about the Japanese band Band-Maid for the Italian Wikipedia and to translate it for the English one, which I did. I knew very little about the band before starting my research. The status of the article is poor, with incomplete information, poorly sourced material and trivialities. It reads like a diary. The article I translated added much content and could have been an improvement, although it needed more refinement for grammar and references. It was properly researched, respected the policies of Wikipedia as much as possible and could surely be changed and shortened with a good peer review. However, in the brief space of four minutes since its publication my edit was blanked by DragonFury with this justification written on the article talk page: "the information is correct, seemingly well-referenced, and it's undoubtedly of great interest to fans of the band but of very little value to most readers." Editor GimmeChoco44 wrote that the article contained "too many trivial details which fall outside the scope of an economic and focused Wikipedia article". What my fellow editors wrote prompted some questions, which are:

In looking at the edit that added the content, I found it was indeed a paper published in a journal I can only describe as less than reputable. But then I also found that all of the edits from the IP address did the same thing in several instances to varying degrees, all with the same work or others published under the same author name, which makes me feel like the intent was to create artificial references or increase visibility.

Please let me know if you would use this Chrome Extension that I am thinking about creating.
This Extension will add two checkboxes to the left of each listing on the "Recent Changes" webpage: /info/en/?search=Special:RecentChanges
The 1st checkbox means that you are interested in that listing. The 2nd checkbox means you are not interested in that listing.
Your settings are automatically saved, so the next time you display the "Recent Changes" webpage, it will show the listings in one of the following three modes:
1. Only show listings that you are interested in.
2. Show all listings, except those that you are not interested in (all listings that don't have the 2nd box checked).
3. Show all listings.
I am aware of the Special:Watchlist page. My extension will not require going to another page, it will interface directly with the Recent Changes webpage. Also, Special:Watchlist doesn't exclude listings, it only adds listings.
Is there already a browser-based tool that provides this feature (without downloading anything)?

Your article on Pizzagate says that Pizzagate is a conspiracy theory that was “widely debunked.” It then cites several news organizations that “debunked” it. Yet it never says what exactly was debunked, nor how it was debunked.
Point by point:
1. “Much of the purported evidence cited by the conspiracy theory's proponents had been taken from entirely different sources and made to appear as if they supported the conspiracy.”
“Much of?” Even if it were true that much of the evidence was taken from “entirely different sources,” much of the evidence was taken directly from Comet Pizza’s and James Alefantis’s own Instagram account, including several disturbing photographs of children with sickening commments under them, like “hoetard,” and references to the “kill room.”
The fact that some, or even “much of” the evidence was false obviously does not “debunk” the evidence that is actually evidence. Only a stupid person would assert that. Does Wikipedia have stupid people writing and editing and approving entries? Evidence, yes.
2. “Theorists linked the conspiracy to Comet Ping Pong through similarities between company logos and symbols related to Satanism and pedophilia. However, The Times noted that similarities were also found in the logos of a number of unrelated companies, such as AOL, Time Warner, and MSN.”
The symbols and logos of Comet and Besta Pizza are clearly identical to, not just similar to pedophilia symbols. If AOL or Time Warner or MSN also have logos similar to pedophilia symbols, that does not change the fact that Comet and Besta’s symbols are identical to pedophilia symbols. That “debunks” nothing. Take a logic course. You are just embarrassing yourselves by citing that.
3. “Theorists claimed an underground network beneath Comet Ping Pong; however, the restaurant actually has no basement, and the picture used to support this claim was taken from another facility.”
The only source of the assertion that Comet Pizza doesn’t have a basement is Alefantis himself. I’m a 2013 article in Philly.com, however, Alefantis is quoted talking about buying tomatoes for Comet Pizza and canning them “in the basement.” He also says his other store, Buck’s Hunting and Fishing, located nearby, has a basement. So, again, you debunk nothing.
4. “Theorists claimed John and Tony Podesta kidnapped Madeleine McCann using police sketches that were, in fact, two sketches of the same suspect taken from the descriptions of two eyewitnesses.”
Again, no logic whatsoever here. Who cares if the two images were allegedly of the same suspect taken from two different witnesses? Why do you think that changes the fact that one of them looks exactly like John Podesta and the other looks exactly like Tony Podesta? Nothing can “debunk” that fact.
In summary, articles like this destroy Wikipedia’s only commodity: its credibility. This is why people laugh when anyone cites Wikipedia as a source for anything. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:181:C400:3D7C:C862:F290:F912:D17 ( talk) 13:45, 24 March 2019 (UTC)

The examples section starts out “To go with the section on test particles above, here are the equations for the fields in which they move”, but there is no section on test particles.
At the end of the paragraph, the article continues “when substituted back in equation (1), the Lagrangian equation for the test particle in a Newtonian gravitational field, provides the information needed to calculate the acceleration of the particle.”, but there is no equation (1) in the earlier portion of the article.

Hello everyone,
My request might seem a bit strange considering I do not own an account on Wikipedia.
I posted a comment (titled "Lack of objectivity in the history section") at Talk:France last year (on November, 9th) regarding an issue with the contributions made in May 2018 by the user Odoures on the history section of France article. These contributions, by focusing on a specific aspect of French colonisation and decolonisation of Africa and Asia (the death tolls that is), result in a biased view of French contemporary history. For this reason, I asked for these contributions to be removed and put in a more appropriate article. This comment got no answer and has been archived by a bot since then. Following Wikipedia's policy, I tried to discuss the issue with Odoures and sent him a message last January but got also no answer.
Not sure about what to do next, I am seeking advice from the community. Thank you in advance. ~~A French reader~~ — Preceding unsigned comment added by A French reader ( talk) 21:39, 24 March 2019 (UTC)

Hi I have been trying to publish a page on an Australian Band active in the 1990s. The page was deemed to be not significant enough to publish however I believe that this judgement is not only incorrect, but substantively so. The band in question is The Daisygrinders and the page is located here: Draft:The Daisygrinders ( | talk | history | links | watch | logs) The band in question was active for 6 years and became a highly regarded act across Australia. They have published works and are currently available on Spotify <a href=" https://open.spotify.com/album/0nsDsH57zWiVp3rEnGCLub?si=oPvhce2lQSuWdZ91A4OQEQ" >Link text</a> as well as back order catalogues through their record label Half A Cow (Sydney). They have been listed in the publication "The Who's Who of Australian Rock", as well as having mentions in other texts. They have released 1 Long Player, 1 mini album, 4 EPs and numerous singles. They played festivals (Big Day Out 1993 and Radio FBI benefit Hordern pavilion). They have supported international acts, The Smashing Pumpkins, Pavement, Buffalo Tom, Teenage Fanclub, Paw; as well as local acts You Am I, Powderfinger, The Clouds (national tour), Tumbleweed, RatCat, Spiderbait, etc... Can someone please clarify to me, how a still currently signed and published act with this kind of history doesnt qualify to be in Wikipedia? I have personally seen bands of lesser notoriety published on Wikipedia with way less references to back up their claims. Any detailed response would be greatly appreciated.

This request refers to assistance with correcting an error that I noticed that I had made with a value. I attempted to correct my mistake, as well as to add just a few extra details for purposes of clarity. However Deacon Vorbis is making false accusations about my posts/contributions, and is behaving in a somewhat unreasonable manner. He/she is reverting corrections to my own posts/edits in the talk page. The moderators/admins of wikipedia can easily know from my records that I make contributions for decent purposes only. If I make an edit, and if I add a proper reason for the edit - such as 'corrected a mistake/typo', then I believe that I should be allowed to make the correction - as an edit. I do not expect a very reasonable edit to be reverted, and I don't expect a Wikipedia moderator to come out to falsely accuse me of being 'disruptive' - especially when I have had previous discussions with them, such as mentioning that us regular users/contributors of Wikipedia do not actually see a never-ending list of edits. There was no intended disruption caused. The evidence is all in the records/history of the talk page. Thanks for your help.

Thanks! Actually, I don't have to ask the maths guys, since I'm only pointing out something very simple. For example, a function....defined by g(t) = sin(t) for t greater or equal to zero, and is equal to zero for t < 0. Now, if you plug in t = 0.2 into it... you get approximately 0.2. And if you plug in t = -0.2, you get 0. So clearly, a mirror imaging (about the vertical y axis) process is not merely handled by magically making 't' become '-t'.

Rigel ( | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) There has been a long debate on Talk:Rigel regarding the content of the 3rd paragraph in the Introduction of main Rigel article. Arianewiki1 has tried many times to gain consensus for several versions, but have had all the text repeatedly reverted. Arianewiki1 has recently made an new section "Third Attempt With Introduction" [10] Both Attic Salt and Cas Liber have seemingly attempted to stonewall the discussion, claiming I am not seeking consensus [11] [12] or that I falsely "... want “consensus” immediately after making wholesale changes." [13] The Section "Third Attempt With Introduction" has three versions of the disputed text.
This has been made more difficult because a third editor, Lithopsian, has refused to interact with Arianewiki1 on talkpages. [14] Regardless of this, they have made a further reasonable compromised edit here [15] that doesn't change the context. (The last edit before writing this.)

I am not sure if this is the proper place to make this statement but the page, /info/en/?search=Once_in_a_While_(1937_song), is at least partially in error. I believe there may be more errors associated with this song in Wikipedia. The page mentions the 1937 classic "Once in a While" as being the earliest song with this name and it lists some artists who covered the tune. There were many artists even in its original year, including Louis Armstrong who covered it. However, there was a (different) 1927 tune by Louis Armstrong and his Hot Five that also was named "Once in a While". It was recorded in 1927. You can find it on you tube. When I first heard the 1927 tune I figured it must be a strongly modified fast jazz version of the 1937 tune. However, it was recorded 10 years earlier and, apparently, was a hit. It is hard to believe (although possible) that another songwriter would have written a ballad with the same title only 10 years later. Surely, I thought, he would have been familiar with the 1927 version. I can find no information on the 1927 version but a recording of it is on youtube and the New Orleans band, Tuba Skinny, plays it (quite well I might add). That recording, some 90 years later is also on youtube. I have found no lyrics for the 1927 tune and if they existed they would be hard to fit into a fast traditional jazz tune.
The only explanations I can come up with are 1. Louis and his Hot Five created their tune in 1927 but, knowing that most similar tunes were derived from earlier tunes, I find that hard to believe. or 2. The 1937 ballad was written before 1927 and had been unpopular and "lost". This is also hard to believe.

The subject article has an error. The Prettyboy Dam does flow into Gunpowder Falls. However, part of the page confuses 'Falls' with 'River.'
This can be excused, but for the reference that the river below the dam separates Baltimore and Harford counties.
It does not.
Gunpowder Falls is wholly within Baltimore County.
When Gunpowder Falls empties into the tidewater portion (just east of the US 40 bridge), it is then known as Gunpowder River. At that point, the 'river,' (again, the tidewater portion) does become the boundary between Baltimore and Harford counties.
To sum it up, Gunpowder 'Falls' is wholly in Baltimore County; Gunpowder 'River' is the boundary between Baltimore and Harford counties.

To: The Wikipedia Editors
This Is In Regards to: The Wikipedia Submission for the Independent film: By The Sea 2002
This is Simply the Backstory of By The Sea we are sharing:
Dean Huh–aka Dean/East (me) and Dean/West (Dean Barnes) – were both aspiring filmmakers at the time…Whenever, we had the chance – we went into networks/studios like CBS, Paramount and Lifetime to pitch our projects– only to get shot down every time.
Finally, in October 2001, we decided to “green light” ourselves and shot the independent film: By The Sea in 9 Days – mostly along the shores of Rhode Island at the Weekpaug Inn (see: Wikipedia). Despite having stunning blue skies to shoot with every day, everyone was truly pre-occupied with the tragic events of 9/11which had occurred two weeks earlier.
In April of 2002, By The Sea sold out 3 shows at the Providence Festival of New Latin Cinema (run by the college: RISD). Next stop, New York for a screening at the Dolby Labs for people from: New Line Cinema and the Weinstein Company. I thought we had an easy film deal. Instead, the acquisitions executives watched By the Sea and left.
I remember siting in Central Park thinking: what fools we were for blowing our savings on this film. Somehow, during my 4 hours on the park bench, I came up with a simple strategy: just play the festivals we were invited to, take the press/stories from these festivals and show them to film distributors – in hopes of making some deal.
Little did we know, By The Sea would be on the festival circuit for 8 years (Most Festivals Contacted Us- We Did Not Solicit Them) and earned accolades from Festivals in: Honolulu, Los Angeles, Tiburon, St Louis, Miami, Boston. Swansea Bay, England, Eilat, Israel and Everglades, South Africa .
During our 8 Amazing Years some of the By The Sea highlights were:
2003 Three Imagen Awards (Latin Oscars) Nominations including Best Picture where we competed against: Selma Hayek’s “Frida.”
By The Sea had a feature story in the July 29, 2002 Daily Variety, because we one of the first small indies to use Special EFX.
Gloria Estefan allowed us to use her music on the By The Sea film featured at Film Festivals.
Desert Mountain Media signed a Domestic Distribution Deal With By The Sea
CinemaNow signed a deal with By the Sea.
EBS signed a Foreign Distribution deal with us and had a Cannes Screening.
Today, By The Sea 2002 can still be found on Amazon by searching: “By The Sea Elena”
We hope you’ll Consider the Submission (we have already made) for the listing of By The Sea 2002 on Wikipedia, so film buffs and aspiring filmmakers may be inspired by our truly amazing journey.

I have written an article about a notable company in the area I grew up. Before submitting it for final review I'd like to ask if someone is willing to have a look at the article with me. I particularly hope to learn about improvements notability and NPOV, but I'm sure there is more.

I first came across the disruptive edits, vandalism, and (what I would consider to be) BLP violations made by the above user in January of this year. For unrelated reasons, I was paring down my raw watchlist today, and decided to check back in on their recent contributions, which after a break from editing, were near identical to the ones I reverted a few months ago. Here's why I feel that I could use advice on how to proceed:

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Allie Teilz ( | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Someone who entered a "Keep" vote on an article nominated for deletion provided a fake signature. They signed it as Arlobutt ( talk · contribs) (which does not exist) but then SineBot signed the comment as 157.131.205.94. There has been repeated vandalism on the Allie Teilz page from an IP removing the article for deletion template. I thought that the fake signature could be an attempt to interfere with the vote (e.g. WP:DISCUSSAFD says "the opinions of logged in users whose accounts predate the article's AfD nomination may be given more weight when determining consensus"). Is there a guideline or somewhere to report this kind of thing? (Sorry if I have asked this in the wrong place.) Thanks. Abbyjjjj96 ( talk) 21:58, 6 June 2019 (UTC)
Re: Telechrome ( | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)
Between 2016 and early 2018, I corrected errors in Wikipedia's "Telechrome" article. I also provided authoritative sources. Meanwhile, another author inserted a paragraph alleging that Telechrome could make lenticular, autostereographic images. In "proof" of his fringe hypothesis, the author cited articles in Wireless World and Popular Mechanics. These articles mention Telechrome, but *not* Telechrome autostereography, or lenticular means.
I added a paragraph that explained that Telechrome autostereography is speculation. I then explained why. I cited the patent, which contains *no claim* that Telechrome has an autostereographic capability.
At the end of September 2018, someone deleted my contribution. My references are also missing. (This author erased several of my other edits, too.) The reason that he gave for deleting the "lenticular Telechrome" critique is that his Popular Mechanics reference supports it. Yet his source *never* mentions "lenticular Telechrome." I used the "talk" feature to contact the other author. Within a few weeks, my "talk" comments vanished.
My goal is this: (1) To remove the fringe "lenticular Telechrome" hypothesis. Or (2) to restore my text about how alleged "lenticular Telechrome" would not work. (Example: There are no lenticules in the Telechrome tube. Authoritative sources fail to mention "lenticular Telechrome." ) I seek to avoid an edit war. How may I resolve this conflict?

A user has been editing the opening paragraph of the article
Manuka, Australian Capital Territory to add a false claim about the "Mayor". The claim is false as Manuka doesn't have a Mayor (check out
Local government functions if you're interested).
I've reverted the changes twice now, and the text has been re-added both times. The second time the text was re-added by a different user, but there's a similarity in the username, so I suspect it's the same user. After my second revision I added a section to the talk page here Talk:Manuka, Australian Capital Territory, but since then the text has been re-added to the article and without any response on the talk page. As a new editor of wikipedia, and before I revert again and get into an edit war, I wanted to reach out and see what you could do, or if you can give me any advice. Thanks so much for your help!

A valid & cited account of topic relevant information was removed, reason being the cite didn't show the content. HBO is a paid service and yes, if you have HBO you can see exactly what I stated 18 min into the video, so is paid content censored by Wiki? If so, they have much to remove, e.g. all paid news sources, e.g. any newspaper reference, or anything paid for that matter that could potentially block out some readers. Seems this must be a procedural thing, at least I hope so! Please advise of proper procedure.
That said, how do we report dead/removed citations?

Here, an editor has deleted a section of the article " Unicode input" noting, accurately, that the section does not contain adequate citations. However, the section in question, "Selection from a screen", is an essential part of the article. The article lead – the second sentence – reads:
Unicode characters can be produced either by selecting them from a display or by typing a certain sequence of keys on a physical keyboard.
Without the deleted section, the article treats only the option to type appropriate keys on a keyboard; the option to select characters from a display is not covered at all (though the lead contains an orphaned image of such a display).
Rather than leave it in its current inadequate state, should the entire article be deleted? Pageviews yesterday, 12/04/2018, numbered over 300. A week ago, 11/28/2018, they numbered 384. Hundreds of other articles link to it. Deletion of " Unicode input" does not seem appropriate.
I have addressed the problem at " Talk:Unicode input#Selection from a screen and WP:BURDEN". The editor referred to, who has now deleted the section twice, has not responded. As I say on the talk page, while I do use some techniques from the article, I never use those discussed in the deleted section; I am unfamiliar with them and unwilling to undertake the considerable research effort that would be required to add appropriate citations.
What can be done?
I recognize that the instructions for this page ask that I use the {{

I'm sorry if this isnt' the right place to post this. I have only been editing Wikipedia for a few weeks. Here is the problem I am having. I think an editor has undisclosed conflict of interest, but I'm not sure. I have read WP:COI and other articles around the conflict of interest policy, but I'm not sure if the editor has COI or not. This involves possible WP:OUTING of an editor, so I am going to avoid refering to the editor's name or the articles they have edited.
Here is the issue:
John Doe is an editor on Wikipedia. John Doe edits articles related to a UK government project known as project X. Project X was outsourced to Company A. They not declared any relationship to Project X or Company A.
Project X and Company A are very controversial. John Doe has very strong negative feelings about Project X. Almost all of John Doe's edits are on Project X and related articles. They has been involved in editing the Project X article and the Criticisms of Project X article. He has claimed that there were no positive elements of Project X. He has removed POV templates on the Project X article. In my opinion, the articles on Project X and the criticisms of Project X article are very biased. For example, prior to my editing, it used wording such as "company A was forced to reveal that.." or "company A reluctantly implemented...".
The criticisms of Project X article describes a former Company A employee, who blew the whistle on poor practice in Company A while working on Project A. The articles referencing this all came from a national British news organisation. I saw in the references that the former Company A employee who blew the whistle is also called John Doe. I have done a Google search and found numerous media references to John Doe's actions. Company A has also written a public response to John Doe's claims. However, John Doe is not a very well-known person.
However, John Doe the editor has not ever said he is the same person as John Doe the whistle blower from Company A. John Doe's real name is not very uncommon, but not very common either. I am unsure if:
1. John Doe the editor is the same person as John Doe the former Company A employee. 2. John Doe the editor is a different person who has chosen to name their account after John Doe the former Company A employee. 3. John Doe the editor and John Doe the former Company A employee co-incidentally have the same name.
I have two questions.
Firstly, if John Doe the editor is the same person as John Doe the former Company A employee, would there be a conflict of interest? Secondly, based on John Doe the editor sharing their name with John Doe the former Company A employee, along with John Doe's editing pattern, would it be reasonable to assume that John Doe the editor is the same person as John Doe the former Company A employee?

AN OPEN LETTER TO WIKIPEDIA: If you consider yourself to be a fair and balanced continuum then why do you forbid researchers, historians and people who may know more than your editorial staff (which is evident from their own LACK of research and reading) to make changes to the Oxfordian site ~ I thought anyone within reason who was knowledgeable on the topic could make additions or edit information they find false. On that site most if it is, untrue -- and it is time you let people who know better correct all the errors and lies.

When I was recently at the Folger Library I learned they had hidden Edward de Vere's Geneva Bible in the vault under lock and key! And all because Professor Roger Stritmatter had discovered the marginalia contained in that bible was notes for the plays Edward de Vere was writing under the pseudonym Shake-speare. He wrote his doctoral thesis on this. I asked a Folger librarian why they kept it down in the vault when such a great finding should be on display and they told me there's not enough room to display all the things down there! Like you, they play god for their guy, not even considering that perhaps there are other Belief systems out there, people who might want to see that. Stratfordman is like a religion to you people.

Numerous Wikipedia articles on Canadian Coast Guard ships are referencing an incorrect convention for identifying vessel classes. https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=User_talk%3AVintageCCG&type=revision&diff=874948554&oldid=874930753
The Canadian Coast Guard (CCG) lists its vessel classes in its CG Operations Order 103.00 (attached below) but somebody has identified the vessel classes by naming them for the first ship in that class e.g. a "Martha L Black"-class ship rather than a "High Endurance Multi-Task Vessel HEMTV" as named in the published CCG policy. That naming convention is common in naval fleets but is not utilized by the CCG. This is not a subjective description I am seeking to correct but a factual inaccuracy that will confuse anyone who is seeking to understand the vessel classes of the CCG. Similar errors have been published on related Wikipedia articles describing other vessel classes of the CCG.
I edited the article but my edits were reverted by Llammakey who accused me of vandalism, conflict of interest and unconstructive edits. I provided an explanation including the authoritative source link, but the editor cited a (presumably mistaken) secondary source as taking precedence. The authoritative source is here: http://www.ccg-gcc.gc.ca/e0013696 and here: https://inter-j01.dfo-mpo.gc.ca/fdat/vessels/vessel-details/84

relevant bios: Archibald Clark Kerr, 1st Baron Inverchapel ( | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) Reginald Herbert, 15th Earl of Pembroke ( | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)
A letter Kerr wrote to Pembroke is quoted in both bios. Taken in context it's a clever joke in a private letter between two men in a different era than ours living through extraordinarily trying times. It's also off-color; misogynist; and racist. It's jarring to find it in Wikipedia, particularly in the Pembroke bio where it is simply described as "an amusing letter"
It would be great if someone with higher editing privileges/insights could take a look and decide whether it needs to come out or whether it needs more framing. IMHO it just doesn't belong here at all. It's a minor anecdote that doesn't add value or insight. (Certainly not in the Pembroke bio.) But rather than remove it I'm flagging it here for review.

People writing articles should be careful. I checked out the new Congresswoman from Michigan and everything about her politics was spelled "Democratic". That is misleading and biased.

Florine Stettheimer ( | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)
I am the acknowledged international scholar (PhD on the artist Florine Stettheimer from Yale Univeristy, co-curator of her first museum retrospective at the Whitney Museum since her death in 1946, author of the only extent, factual biography on the artist, author of numerous books and articles on her, quoted extensively by every subsequent major book/catalog/article on her and her work.)
When I read the Wikipedia article on Stettheimer about six months ago, I saw there were a number of false statements, inaccuracies, and exaggerations, that are among the many that have been promoted over the years in the text. I spent several hours re-writing a great deal of the text in order to make it factually accurate, and to provide a great deal more information. I also quoted extensively, and referenced my biography of the artist from 1995 (Yale Press.)
The "editor" "Dreamy Jazz" DELETED all of my remarks, saying I did not quote "acknowledged sources" although all my sources are listed on any search for Florine Stettheimer bibliography or library, and I had to register a "dispute" on Wikipedia to get SOME of the major information and inaccuracies I corrected put back in the Wikipedia Florine Stettheimer entry.
However, when I went to look at the entry the other day, a number of false facts and inaccuracies remain. I therefore spent another 3 hours! adding a great deal more information about her schooling, her early work, many of her most important paintings, and took out ridiculous information such as that she wanted her work "buried with her" when she died when, in fact, she wanted all her paintings and work donated to a museum as a single collection which is what she specifically informed her family to whom she left her work in her will. I know, as I spoke in person several times to her lawyer Joseph Solomon while he was still alive in the 1990s.
I saved all of my additions to the Florine Stettheimer entry which was now very extensive and helpful to anyone interested in learning about the artist. However the next day, "Dreamy Jazz" had deleted it ALL AGAIN.
I would greatly appreciate someone looking over all of my additions to the text, judging what I added, and please either adding them back, or letting me know WHY they were deleted. Thank you. Barbara Bloemink, PhD Barbarabloemink ( talk) 00:17, 5 January 2019 (UTC)
.....John/TransporterMan/Grabergs Graa Sang/ First of all, I don't know if I HAVE a "talk page" but I just tried to add something to the "stettheimer talk" page explaining why there is a different birth date for her in Britannica entry and what I have in my biography. 2nd) despite what DreamyJazz wrote when she first deleted my attempt at fixing the Stettheimer entry, I DID HAVE PUBLISHED VERIFIED FACTUAL SOURCE INFO I WAS CITING FOR WHAT I WROTE IN MY YALE PRESS 1995 STETTHEIMER BIOGRAPHY!!! (which was my Yale PhD dissertation on Stettheimer.) I was also citing an essay I wrote on Stettheimer in a published book, Women in Dada, and another essay I wrote in a book on Women in the Decorative Arts. I happened to 1x want to cite my upcoming revised biography which apparently was not acceptable however all of you are jumping on only that 1 fact. THE CURRENT ISSUE IS DIFFERENT!!! 20 yrs after Stettheimer died, a book was written about her by someone who didn't know her, and admitted he exaggerated and MADE THINGS UP about her! Among these things is that she was never exhibited publicly except to special friends, and wanted her paintings buried with her when she died. (just to name 2 outright lies.) for 40 years many writers INCLUDING ART CRITICS AND CURATORS have been repeating these incorrect statements which have continued to marginalize her and the true significance of her work, ignoring the actual facts: Stettheimer exhibited 46+ times at major museums like the Whitney and MOMA in her life - yet the Whitney current catalog still says she "never exhibited publicly." SO WHICH IS THE SOURCE WIKIPEDIA CITES? the current Whitney catalog which is a lie, or all the many museum and exhibition catalogs from 1917-1945 that show Florine Stettheimer paintings included? One is untrue, the other is a hard fact? OR like the statement still in your entry on Stettheimer with the source from the recent Jewish Museum exhibition that she wanted her paintings buried with her....that is a complete fabrication by the man who wrote about her in 1960 and admitted at the time that he "made things up about her." In fact, as her lawyer, Joseph Solomon, showed me in 1995, Stettheimer explicitly told her sisters prior to her death that she wanted ALL of her work given to a single museum as a "collection," and if not possible, at least donated to museums because she knew it was well thought of enough for them to accept it. Which, by the way, it was - every major museum in the US accepted a Stettheimer painting into its permanent collection after her death. No where in her will does it say ANYTHING about her wanting her paintings buried with her. Yet I am not able to change that in your Wikipedia entry even though I have published several articles and a biography clearly describing her final will, written a few days before her death.'Italic text
the problem is I don't KNOW HOW to format Wikipedia-style. It is very very difficult as are all your pages of "instructions" - I barely figured out how to "sign" my entries and find this page! in order to add/answer your comments.
PLEASE ALLOW ME TO ADD A MAJOR, COMPREHENSIVE ENTRY THAT IS FACTUALLY CORRECT ON THIS SIGNIFICANT WOMAN ARTIST WHO PLAYED A MAJOR ROLE IN 20th CENTURY ART AND WAS the FIRST WOMAN ARTIST TO EVER PAINT A NUDE SELF_PORTRAIT FROM A WOMAN"S POINT OF VIEW!!! HELP ME TO EDIT OUT THE SOURCES THAT INCLUDE FALSE STATEMENTS IN THE ENTRY AND PUT IN PUBLISHED SOURCES THAT STATE FACTUAL ACCURATE INFORMATION!! Just show me/allow me to add the content and the sources, and then please have someone who knows how, edit it according to the "right" Wikipedia format for me, so that the entry will be there for future students, interested readers, scholars, the public, to have comprehensive biography, story of the development, innovations, and significance of the life and art of Florine Stettheimer. I have no ego in this other than wanting to ensure that Stettheimer's story is factually told and her work and significance are acknowledged accurately. -- Barbarabloemink ( talk) 22:53, 5 January 2019 (UTC)Barbara Bloemink January 5 2019
........THANK YOU JOHN! you are being very understanding, considerate and helpful and it is greatly appreciated. I will do exactly what you suggest, write out my suggested changes/edits on the Talk Stettheimer page, but how do I ensure that someone will make those changes to the Stettheimer entry??? Also, I can factually list the first and every Whitney Biennial, MOMA early exhibition, Paris Salon, and virtually every one of the 46+ exhibitions Stettheimer showed her work in during her lifetime as sources to demonstrate as facts that the Whitney Museum Collection catalog falsely states that she "rarely exhibited during her lifetime except to special friends" and is a non-reliable/FALSE source. If I were to list all or even 20 of the catalogs that Stettheimer exhibited in as factual PROOF that the Whitney curator did not do her research (I know her obviously and the Director is aware of this) would Wikipedia then, finally, decide to not use the Whitney catalog and statement as a valid source??? Anyway, thanks to your kind and helpful suggestions, I will try and do what you suggest on the Stettheimer Talk page. I also want to add a great deal of additional information to the entry - and that means adding (and taking out/changing the numbering for) new sources/footnotes which I will do directly next to the content in the same lines, and hope someone will then format and put that into the entry text properly. Again, None of This is for Me!!!! Everything I am doing is for the benefit of future readers, scholars, researchers, persons interested in the life and art work of Florine Stettheimer, a highly important, early feminist, innovative modernist 20th century American artist. I only want her entry to be as factual, truthful, comprehensive, and informative based on actual primary research of her writings, her artwork, and the writing of people who actually knew and/or worked with her during her life. -- Barbarabloemink ( talk) 18:30, 6 January 2019 (UTC)Barbara Bloemink Barbarabloemink ( talk) 18:30, 6 January 2019 (UTC)January 6, 2018
.........Grabergs Graa Sang - if you will please read what I keep reiterating in all my statements and more particularly what I have written on the "Talk: Florine Stettheimer" page, All of my sources are reliable, PRIMARY, factual sources: either the writings of the artist herself, writing during her lifetime by media about her or by her friends/people she worked with who knew her!!!! I am attempting to Correct the lies and exaggerations that have continued to be copied from a book written by a man written 20 years after her death who admitted IN THE BOOK that he "exaggerated" what he wrote and made up or fantasized ideas about her. However because they are funny or make her seem eccentric, such as that she "wanted her paintings buried with her when she died" - which is a complete falsehood but remains written in published articles and is in the Wikipedia entry - continues to prevent Stettheimer from being taken seriously as a professional, ambitious, serious artist! Instead, as I spoke to her lawyer who wrote her revised will with her in the hospital a few days before she died, she wanted all her paintings donated to major museums - which they were. And I use my Yale University published biography, where I footnote my meeting with the lawyer, as a "reliably published, source." I do not think Wikipedia wants to keep false statements in its entries for bald inaccuracies to be passed on into the future? Similarly read my statement above re: the Whitney's catalog, written by a curator who is not an expert and obviously did not do a great deal of in-depth research on Stettheimer, vs the REALITY of how many times Stettheimer actually exhibited her work during her lifetime. I can cite the titles of All 46 actual exhibition catalogs in which she exhibited as proof in order to demonstrate why the so-called sources that are in your entry implying she was reluctant to exhibit are incorrect, but I don't that that is a good use of space.

00:17, 6 January 2019 (UTC)I've found myself reverting some repeated edits by apparently the same person using a couple different IPs, with the most recent one having been banned (unsure why). Obviously talk page discussion would be impossible, which also rules out dispute resolution should that become necessary. Nonetheless I don't feel comfortable just repeatedly reverting, especially since the person might pop up using a different IP and make the same changes again. Does anyone have some idea how to address the situation? FWIW the main article in question at this point is Uridine monophosphate and the most recent IP was User talk:2603:3024:400:7400:C9ED:A813:B60:214B. The changes being made revolve around health claims being made by manufacturers of supplements, based on flimsy evidence; the IP user is removing statements pointing out the inadequacy of the evidence. I reverted similar changes made under their previous IP to Red Bull, but the IP user hasn't changed that back. I can also see another editor reverted similar changes to Rhodiola rosea.

In the article Elizabeth Elmore, it says "Elmore passed the Chicago Bar around 2004", with a cite to an article in the Boston Globe which indeed says she "just passed the Chicago bar" in October 2004.
The only thing is, there is no Chicago bar, in the sense of a bar exam. The linked-to article on the "Chicago Bar" is to the Chicago Bar Association, which is a voluntary local Chicago association of lawyers that has nothing to do with bar admissions or bar exams. Bar admission is handled at the state level, by the Illinois Board of Admissions to the Bar. the IL BAB administers the Illinois bar exam ( [3]; now the Uniform Bar Examination, but it would have been a state-specific bar exam back in 2004, the date of the Boston Globe article; the state is changing to the UBE starting this year).
The Boston Globe article is clearly wrong; but the stuff I just wrote above is clearly WP:OR.
I'm aware of WP:Verifiability, not truth, but still, should we have information in the article that we know to be wrong? Should we replicate known errors in otherwise reliable sources? I have no sense that the Globe is not a reliable source for most matters; but perhaps an entertainment writer is not a reliable source for legal matters?
One approach would be to just strike the bit about her passing the bar, but I don't think that there's any question that she passed the state bar (the Illinois state Supreme Court roster lists her as having been admitted to practice in Illinois in November 4, 2004), so I would rather not lose the information that she is an attorney.

Hi I'd just like some help as to the policies around these controversial topics. I've tried really hard to get help with several notices, but it seems quite clear to me that the edits I'm trying to make in regard to their connections with ADHD are being deleted without discussion, and no one else comments. So I'm a bit of an impasse. I've been asking for help from the start, and only one editor has helped me add anything since 12.12.2018. When their edits were put in what they considered to be a more appropriate space in social media addiction they were deleted too. It's all linguistics - the terminology is moving away from "addiction", but we can see that "overuse" "association between digital media use and symptoms" are all the same thing on the same topic. I'm not married to any linguistics, we just have to arrive at consensus. But the medical correlates have to be somewhere. I'm concerned about the false balance of the absence of the medical correlation - which is finally proven in a well designed prospective study, in both pages.

Hello. I have been a regular contributor to the National Hockey League's teams season pages for over two years now. Since October of 2018, there has been this other contributor who constantly adds misinformation on a team's player statistics section. This user also does not re-organize the players in the statistics section based on a player's total number of points from most points to least, which is what it is supposed to be ordered by. The pages that this user contributes to are the following, 2018–19 Vancouver Canucks season, 2018–19 Calgary Flames season, 2018–19 Edmonton Oilers season, 2018–19 Winnipeg Jets season, 2018–19 Toronto Maple Leafs season, and 2018–19 Montreal Canadiens season. When this contributor first started editing, I believed they were just making accidental numerical errors. However, they have constantly been adding incorrect information since October. Their information also does not come from a reliable source such as NHL.com. I believe that they manually calculate the information, which is why it is often incorrect. I have notified this user many times about both of these issues, and they believe that these are just "easy fixes", and that it is "not that big of a deal". They have also refused to listen to any of the suggestions that I have provided them with. Other editors have also made complaints about this in regards to the statistics being ordered to the user's own satisfaction, and also for their usage of two accounts, which I believe is sockpuppeting. I will provide a link to NHL.com's player statistics - Stats so that you are able to navigate the website. Is there anything that could be done in regards to this situation? Or will I have to continue to deal with this person being able to edit these pages? Any sort of assistance would be appreciated. Yowashi ( talk) 03:53, 15 January 2019 (UTC)[[

Microwave auditory effect ( | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) The topic of Electronic Harassment is considered a conspiracy theory. I know wikipedia is biased towards science and all the rest, but there are facts from reliable sources that are being suppressed. For example, on the Microwave Auditory Effect Page, a more senior editor than I, sirlanz, tried to add well-sourced information about 'Project Hello', but then received accusations of edit warring. Ultimately, his edit was suppressed and he was banned, a first in his 11 year history here. I myself have tried to make 11 edits to the EH page, after extensive communication on the talk page, but every edit is reverted. Other editors then threaten me with a 'ban' and accuse me of 'edit warring'. The outcome of this process is a page of disinformation which suffers from POV biases. If wikipedia is to be a neutral encyclopedia, we cannot allow certain editors to gang up on others in order to suppress information. Please take a look at these pages and let me know what you think. The process I have been through thus far seems to represent the worst of wikipedia. -- PaulGosar ( talk) 05:34, 16 January 2019 (UTC) Any suggestions besides boilerplate non-answers?

So I'm not sure if this is the entirely correct venue to ask this question, but I would like someone to clarify whether these sources are meant to be italicized or not: MTV News and Idolator. Now my understanding of this is that they're not print sources, so we do not italicize them. Look at featured articles Lady Gaga and Katy Perry which do not italicize these sources and use them with the publisher parameter which also affirms this. The user Ss112 does not have an understanding of this and keeps reverting me whenever I correctly use them without italics. See this edit for example.

After reading the childhood/early life section of your article I wondered if it is it possible to collect or access forensic evidence that might support my theory that his maternal grandfather is actually his own father? Because his father was never successfully identified and bec both his grandmother and grandfather seemed to be mentally disturbed (and also his grandmother went through electroshock therapy) it could be possible that his grandfather conceived of him with his own daughter (Ted’s mom) which was covered up and also might explain why the grandfather got upset when Ted questioned his paternity. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Danaglassboyko ( talk • contribs) 00:51, 26 January 2019 (UTC)

Hi, 1. Help is needed to determine the sources are reliable for Seran Kim. As a film director, I think IMDb, PRNewswire, and nyu.edu should be considered reliable. If you agree, please help to remove the unreliable source tag. 2. Short film Director who wins awards should be considered notable. For example, there are many short film wikipedia pages. Also, Mat Kirkby is a short film director and James Lucas (screenwriter) a short film producer and they do not have a proposed deletion tag. It is unfair that Seran Kim is singled out for deletion.

Hello, This is in regards to the page Relative energy deficiency in sport.
I am a member of the Female Athlete Triad Coalition, which is a non-profit organization founded to educate the public of the health consequences associated with the condition. I noticed that when searching for the female athlete triad wiki page, it is now redirected to the "relative energy deficiency in sport" page, as of December 2018. This change is not accurate, as they are in fact separate entities. Without going into too much detail, the RED-S group has tried to "re-brand" this condition with out the knowledge (or approval) of the researchers/ physicians who make up the Female Athlete Triad Coalition. Triad research has been conducted for the past 30 years and because RED-S is new (est. 2014), there is no scientific evidence to support that Triad and RED-S are one in the same.
We tried to remove the "re-branding" comment and do not wish to remove RED-S entirely, but it should have it's own separate page with relevant content. Currently, the RED-S page covers solely Triad material, which is inaccurate.
We please ask that Female Athlete Triad and RED-S remain separate pages until there is an official consensus on this topic.

Hi, fairly new here, so sorry for any mistakes on my end. I’ve watched Wiki for some time but have not edited before joining . I’m keenly aware and familiar with the subjects and details of these two articles and I’ve watched previous edits be deleted or reverted without discussion improperly. Worst of all, I’ve watched current and relevant references be deleted in both aforementioned articles. Most recently, I continue to be harangued by user:Ewen Douglas, who is claiming I am a sock-puppet to a user:stargazer. I am not a sock-puppet but a real person, familiar with these subjects and institutions, who is trying to enhance accuracy by including accurate references (one from an institution’s own website).

Per WP:ETHNICITY,
In the case of actors, athletes and activists, I do believe this is very notable:
I have noticed certain users being very adamant in removing any mention of "XX-American" or "XX-born Canadian" without really taking into consideration the subject and how the XX may be relevant.
One such user is very active in this. I'm trying to use this to better understand the situation before I approach anyone else on this, if indeed they are correct.
A couple random examples:
Which brings me to ask another question. If someone is born in a country and there is no source they have renounced that citizenship (and the country has dual-citizenship) is there additional onus to prove they are of that citizenship? Because most times we don't have a source about whether someone is American or Canadian citizen either, the wording just seems to go by where they are either born or living in, but that doesn't prove they are citizens necessarily. So then isn't that onus then being inconsistently applied? ~ DA1 ( talk) 05:40, 10 February 2019 (UTC)
Band-Maid ( | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)
I've been working on Wikipedia for ten years now and edited thousands of articles, mostly for the Wikipedia:WikiProject Albums. I have also written my fair share of articles about music artists and some of them reached the Good status on Wikipedia. The fellow wikipedian Hatto0467 asked me to write an article about the Japanese band Band-Maid for the Italian Wikipedia and to translate it for the English one, which I did. I knew very little about the band before starting my research. The status of the article is poor, with incomplete information, poorly sourced material and trivialities. It reads like a diary. The article I translated added much content and could have been an improvement, although it needed more refinement for grammar and references. It was properly researched, respected the policies of Wikipedia as much as possible and could surely be changed and shortened with a good peer review. However, in the brief space of four minutes since its publication my edit was blanked by DragonFury with this justification written on the article talk page: "the information is correct, seemingly well-referenced, and it's undoubtedly of great interest to fans of the band but of very little value to most readers." Editor GimmeChoco44 wrote that the article contained "too many trivial details which fall outside the scope of an economic and focused Wikipedia article". What my fellow editors wrote prompted some questions, which are:

I was reading Diffusion Equation and noticed that most of the text in the History & Development section seemed to be copied en bloc from a study. In looking at the edit that added the content, I found it was indeed a paper published in a journal I can only describe as less than reputable. But then I also found that all of the edits from the IP address did the same thing in several instances to varying degrees, all with the same work or others published under the same author name, which makes me feel like the intent was to create artificial references or increase visibility. The sections that were basically plagiarized will need to be refactored, but my question is should this be reason to actively undo edits or only be a factor to keep in mind when reviewing them, if at all? kumowoon1025 ( talk) 14:02, 14 February 2019 (UTC)

I created the article Alpini and Mountain Artillery formations in World War I. User:Goran tek-en was so kind to create a relief map of Northern Italy with the borders of 1905 for the article: File:North Italy relief location map 1905.svg.

Currently two Location map+ modules with a map of all of Italy are used in the article, both of which should be replaced with the map created by Goran tek-en.
My request would be for a more experienced editor to please create the module required to use File:North Italy relief location map 1905.svg.

Please let me know if you would use this Chrome Extension that I am thinking about creating.
This Extension will add two checkboxes to the left of each listing on the "Recent Changes" webpage: /info/en/?search=Special:RecentChanges
The 1st checkbox means that you are interested in that listing. The 2nd checkbox means you are not interested in that listing.
Your settings are automatically saved, so the next time you display the "Recent Changes" webpage, it will show the listings in one of the following three modes:
1. Only show listings that you are interested in.
2. Show all listings, except those that you are not interested in (all listings that don't have the 2nd box checked).
3. Show all listings.
I am aware of the Special:Watchlist page. My extension will not require going to another page, it will interface directly with the Recent Changes webpage. Also, Special:Watchlist doesn't exclude listings, it only adds listings.
Is there already a browser-based tool that provides this feature (without downloading anything)?

I am a contributor who has clearly declared their COI for a particular article on Wikipedia. For this article I have made several content suggestions only on the talk page that fit the format and tone of Wikipedia's guidelines. In addition, the content being suggested adds factual information to the article that readers would find interesting.
However, each suggestion has been either ignored or disapproved with only the following as a reason "an editor feels this would not improve the article".
If there is an editor who would like to review or assist in providing an explanation as to why this is happening it would be much appreciated.

Your article on Pizzagate says that Pizzagate is a conspiracy theory that was “widely debunked.” It then cites several news organizations that “debunked” it. Yet it never says what exactly was debunked, nor how it was debunked.
Point by point:
1. “Much of the purported evidence cited by the conspiracy theory's proponents had been taken from entirely different sources and made to appear as if they supported the conspiracy.”
“Much of?” Even if it were true that much of the evidence was taken from “entirely different sources,” much of the evidence was taken directly from Comet Pizza’s and James Alefantis’s own Instagram account, including several disturbing photographs of children with sickening commments under them, like “hoetard,” and references to the “kill room.”
The fact that some, or even “much of” the evidence was false obviously does not “debunk” the evidence that is actually evidence. Only a stupid person would assert that. Does Wikipedia have stupid people writing and editing and approving entries? Evidence, yes.
2. “Theorists linked the conspiracy to Comet Ping Pong through similarities between company logos and symbols related to Satanism and pedophilia. However, The Times noted that similarities were also found in the logos of a number of unrelated companies, such as AOL, Time Warner, and MSN.”
The symbols and logos of Comet and Besta Pizza are clearly identical to, not just similar to pedophilia symbols. If AOL or Time Warner or MSN also have logos similar to pedophilia symbols, that does not change the fact that Comet and Besta’s symbols are identical to pedophilia symbols. That “debunks” nothing. Take a logic course. You are just embarrassing yourselves by citing that.
3. “Theorists claimed an underground network beneath Comet Ping Pong; however, the restaurant actually has no basement, and the picture used to support this claim was taken from another facility.”
The only source of the assertion that Comet Pizza doesn’t have a basement is Alefantis himself. I’m a 2013 article in Philly.com, however, Alefantis is quoted talking about buying tomatoes for Comet Pizza and canning them “in the basement.” He also says his other store, Buck’s Hunting and Fishing, located nearby, has a basement. So, again, you debunk nothing.
4. “Theorists claimed John and Tony Podesta kidnapped Madeleine McCann using police sketches that were, in fact, two sketches of the same suspect taken from the descriptions of two eyewitnesses.”
Again, no logic whatsoever here. Who cares if the two images were allegedly of the same suspect taken from two different witnesses? Why do you think that changes the fact that one of them looks exactly like John Podesta and the other looks exactly like Tony Podesta? Nothing can “debunk” that fact.
In summary, articles like this destroy Wikipedia’s only commodity: its credibility. This is why people laugh when anyone cites Wikipedia as a source for anything. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:181:C400:3D7C:C862:F290:F912:D17 ( talk) 13:45, 24 March 2019 (UTC)

Hello everyone,
My request might seem a bit strange considering I do not own an account on Wikipedia.
I posted a comment (titled "Lack of objectivity in the history section") at Talk:France last year (on November, 9th) regarding an issue with the contributions made in May 2018 by the user Odoures on the history section of France article. These contributions, by focusing on a specific aspect of French colonisation and decolonisation of Africa and Asia (the death tolls that is), result in a biased view of French contemporary history. For this reason, I asked for these contributions to be removed and put in a more appropriate article. This comment got no answer and has been archived by a bot since then. Following Wikipedia's policy, I tried to discuss the issue with Odoures and sent him a message last January but got also no answer.

Hi I have been trying to publish a page on an Australian Band active in the 1990s. The page was deemed to be not significant enough to publish however I believe that this judgement is not only incorrect, but substantively so. The band in question is The Daisygrinders and the page is located here: Draft:The Daisygrinders ( | talk | history | links | watch | logs) The band in question was active for 6 years and became a highly regarded act across Australia. They have published works and are currently available on Spotify <a href=" https://open.spotify.com/album/0nsDsH57zWiVp3rEnGCLub?si=oPvhce2lQSuWdZ91A4OQEQ" >Link text</a> as well as back order catalogues through their record label Half A Cow (Sydney). They have been listed in the publication "The Who's Who of Australian Rock", as well as having mentions in other texts. They have released 1 Long Player, 1 mini album, 4 EPs and numerous singles. They played festivals (Big Day Out 1993 and Radio FBI benefit Hordern pavilion). They have supported international acts, The Smashing Pumpkins, Pavement, Buffalo Tom, Teenage Fanclub, Paw; as well as local acts You Am I, Powderfinger, The Clouds (national tour), Tumbleweed, RatCat, Spiderbait, etc... Can someone please clarify to me, how a still currently signed and published act with this kind of history doesnt qualify to be in Wikipedia?

This request refers to assistance with correcting an error that I noticed that I had made with a value. I attempted to correct my mistake, as well as to add just a few extra details for purposes of clarity. However Deacon Vorbis is making false accusations about my posts/contributions, and is behaving in a somewhat unreasonable manner. He/she is reverting corrections to my own posts/edits in the talk page. The moderators/admins of wikipedia can easily know from my records that I make contributions for decent purposes only. If I make an edit, and if I add a proper reason for the edit - such as 'corrected a mistake/typo', then I believe that I should be allowed to make the correction - as an edit. I do not expect a very reasonable edit to be reverted, and I don't expect a Wikipedia moderator to come out to falsely accuse me of being 'disruptive' - especially when I have had previous discussions with them, such as mentioning that us regular users/contributors of Wikipedia do not actually see a never-ending list of edits. There was no intended disruption caused. The evidence is all in the records/history of the talk page. Thanks for your help.

Thanks! Actually, I don't have to ask the maths guys, since I'm only pointing out something very simple. For example, a function....defined by g(t) = sin(t) for t greater or equal to zero, and is equal to zero for t < 0. Now, if you plug in t = 0.2 into it... you get approximately 0.2. And if you plug in t = -0.2, you get 0. So clearly, a mirror imaging (about the vertical y axis) process is not merely handled by magically making 't' become '-t'.

Arianewiki1 has tried many times to gain consensus for several versions, but have had all the text repeatedly reverted. Arianewiki1 has recently made an new section "Third Attempt With Introduction" [10] Both Attic Salt and Cas Liber have seemingly attempted to stonewall the discussion, claiming I am not seeking consensus [11] [12] or that I falsely "... want “consensus” immediately after making wholesale changes."

This has been made more difficult because a third editor, Lithopsian, has refused to interact with Arianewiki1 on talkpages. [14] Regardless of this, they have made a further reasonable compromised edit here [15] that doesn't change the context. (The last edit before writing this.)

I am not sure if this is the proper place to make this statement but the page, /info/en/?search=Once_in_a_While_(1937_song), is at least partially in error. I believe there may be more errors associated with this song in Wikipedia. The page mentions the 1937 classic "Once in a While" as being the earliest song with this name and it lists some artists who covered the tune. There were many artists even in its original year, including Louis Armstrong who covered it. However, there was a (different) 1927 tune by Louis Armstrong and his Hot Five that also was named "Once in a While". It was recorded in 1927. You can find it on you tube. When I first heard the 1927 tune I figured it must be a strongly modified fast jazz version of the 1937 tune. However, it was recorded 10 years earlier and, apparently, was a hit. It is hard to believe (although possible) that another songwriter would have written a ballad with the same title only 10 years later. Surely, I thought, he would have been familiar with the 1927 version. I can find no information on the 1927 version but a recording of it is on youtube and the New Orleans band, Tuba Skinny, plays it (quite well I might add). That recording, some 90 years later is also on youtube. I have found no lyrics for the 1927 tune and if they existed they would be hard to fit into a fast traditional jazz tune.
The only explanations I can come up with are 1. Louis and his Hot Five created their tune in 1927 but, knowing that most similar tunes were derived from earlier tunes, I find that hard to believe. or 2. The 1937 ballad was written before 1927 and had been unpopular and "lost". This is also hard to believe.

I've listed requested changes and cited sources through 3rd party media coverage, etc. Appreciate the help and any feedback. Regards, Gregg
Here is the Wiki page /info/en/?search=Partners_and_Napier
Requests for review: 1- first sentence remove jargon "ideas agency" and replace with "advertising agency" 2- add "employing over 160 people" 3- add "Headquarters in the Metropolitan building in downtown Rochester, NY" (firm recently moved) 4- add "The 40,000 square foot office is organized into “neighborhoods” that house groups working on the agency’s three largest client fields — food and drink, health and wellness and technology."

there are not many who are still genuinely here to "build an encyclopedia"- he's not a particularly prolific editor himself.

I’ve started a discussion on the Game of Thrones talk page regarding an editor who has removed all Infobox images from every episodes article. I thought posting it there would be a good central location, but no one likely knows it’s there.
I’d like to place a template at the top of each episode’s article stating where this discussion is taking place, as there’s rogue convos happening on multiple episodes talk pages.
1) is this allowed? 2) if so, what’s the ideal template?

A page with the above name has been reported as deleted. It was active from 2014 to October 2017. Around early 2018 it was not found. The reason for deletion is unknown.

The subject article has an error. The Prettyboy Dam does flow into Gunpowder Falls. However, part of the page confuses 'Falls' with 'River.'
This can be excused, but for the reference that the river below the dam separates Baltimore and Harford counties.
It does not.
Gunpowder Falls is wholly within Baltimore County.
When Gunpowder Falls empties into the tidewater portion (just east of the US 40 bridge), it is then known as Gunpowder River. At that point, the 'river,' (again, the tidewater portion) does become the boundary between Baltimore and Harford counties.
To sum it up, Gunpowder 'Falls' is wholly in Baltimore County; Gunpowder 'River' is the boundary between Baltimore and Harford counties.

Patty_Duke ( | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)
An editor changed Patty Duke's place of birth from Queens to Manhattan. I did a quick search, determined the change was incorrect and changed it back, messaging the editor a courtesy heads up. The editor pointed out that Patty Duke's biography states she was born in Manhattan (Bellevue Hospital). Trying to get a definitive answer I dug a bit deeper only to discover that multiple sources give conflicting information, and they all seem to be drawing from the same Associated Press article.
Bellevue Hospital, Manhattan, NY
Elmhurst, NY
Queens, NY

This Is In Regards to: The Wikipedia Submission for the Independent film: By The Sea 2002
This is Simply the Backstory of By The Sea we are sharing:
Dean Huh–aka Dean/East (me) and Dean/West (Dean Barnes) – were both aspiring filmmakers at the time…Whenever, we had the chance – we went into networks/studios like CBS, Paramount and Lifetime to pitch our projects– only to get shot down every time.
Finally, in October 2001, we decided to “green light” ourselves and shot the independent film: By The Sea in 9 Days – mostly along the shores of Rhode Island at the Weekpaug Inn (see: Wikipedia). Despite having stunning blue skies to shoot with every day, everyone was truly pre-occupied with the tragic events of 9/11which had occurred two weeks earlier.
In April of 2002, By The Sea sold out 3 shows at the Providence Festival of New Latin Cinema (run by the college: RISD). Next stop, New York for a screening at the Dolby Labs for people from: New Line Cinema and the Weinstein Company. I thought we had an easy film deal. Instead, the acquisitions executives watched By the Sea and left.
I remember siting in Central Park thinking: what fools we were for blowing our savings on this film. Somehow, during my 4 hours on the park bench, I came up with a simple strategy: just play the festivals we were invited to, take the press/stories from these festivals and show them to film distributors – in hopes of making some deal.
Little did we know, By The Sea would be on the festival circuit for 8 years (Most Festivals Contacted Us- We Did Not Solicit Them) and earned accolades from Festivals in: Honolulu, Los Angeles, Tiburon, St Louis, Miami, Boston. Swansea Bay, England, Eilat, Israel and Everglades, South Africa .
During our 8 Amazing Years some of the By The Sea highlights were:
2003 Three Imagen Awards (Latin Oscars) Nominations including Best Picture where we competed against: Selma Hayek’s “Frida.”
By The Sea had a feature story in the July 29, 2002 Daily Variety, because we one of the first small indies to use Special EFX.
Gloria Estefan allowed us to use her music on the By The Sea film featured at Film Festivals.
Desert Mountain Media signed a Domestic Distribution Deal With By The Sea
CinemaNow signed a deal with By the Sea.
EBS signed a Foreign Distribution deal with us and had a Cannes Screening.
Today, By The Sea 2002 can still be found on Amazon by searching: “By The Sea Elena”
We hope you’ll Consider the Submission (we have already made) for the listing of By The Sea 2002 on Wikipedia, so film buffs and aspiring filmmakers may be inspired by our truly amazing journey.

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Allie Teilz ( | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Someone who entered a "Keep" vote on an article nominated for deletion provided a fake signature. They signed it as Arlobutt ( talk · contribs) (which does not exist) but then SineBot signed the comment as 157.131.205.94. There has been repeated vandalism on the Allie Teilz page from an IP removing the article for deletion template. I thought that the fake signature could be an attempt to interfere with the vote (e.g. WP:DISCUSSAFD says "the opinions of logged in users whose accounts predate the article's AfD nomination may be given more weight when determining consensus"). Is there a guideline or somewhere to report this kind of thing? (Sorry if I have asked this in the wrong place.) Thanks. Abbyjjjj96 ( talk) 21:58, 6 June 2019 (UTC)
Re: Telechrome ( | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)
Between 2016 and early 2018, I corrected errors in Wikipedia's "Telechrome" article. I also provided authoritative sources. Meanwhile, another author inserted a paragraph alleging that Telechrome could make lenticular, autostereographic images. In "proof" of his fringe hypothesis, the author cited articles in Wireless World and Popular Mechanics. These articles mention Telechrome, but *not* Telechrome autostereography, or lenticular means.
I added a paragraph that explained that Telechrome autostereography is speculation. I then explained why. I cited the patent, which contains *no claim* that Telechrome has an autostereographic capability.
At the end of September 2018, someone deleted my contribution. My references are also missing. (This author erased several of my other edits, too.) The reason that he gave for deleting the "lenticular Telechrome" critique is that his Popular Mechanics reference supports it. Yet his source *never* mentions "lenticular Telechrome." I used the "talk" feature to contact the other author. Within a few weeks, my "talk" comments vanished.
My goal is this: (1) To remove the fringe "lenticular Telechrome" hypothesis. Or (2) to restore my text about how alleged "lenticular Telechrome" would not work. (Example: There are no lenticules in the Telechrome tube. Authoritative sources fail to mention "lenticular Telechrome." ) I seek to avoid an edit war. How may I resolve this conflict?
