Hi! I pasted the material I wrote for my boss, Jill Karlin Butler; gathering the info from a great deal of biographical information she gave me to work with. I need to index items & I'm not sure how to go about it.
This is the first wikipedia contribution I've made & it's rather confusing with all the components needed. When I first created a (USERNAME) & wrote 2 lines; I didnt realize it would go up online but then I received a notice that it was declined. Please advise. I need to link many press mentions & references....how do I go about that?

I created a template for an article on Anthony Carleton, and tried to post it on the Did You Know nomination page under December 15 [1], but it didn't show up properly, and when I click on the red link the message says Wikipedia doesn't have a template with that name. Any help with this would be much appreciated. NinaGreen ( talk) 01:15, 21 December 2013 (UTC)
I cannot understand why your people have such a big problem understanding and allowing me to do this... but maybe using an example using your Founder of the company who does it with his two names...will suffice.
AND this is ALL I WANT FOR MYSELF no more...
If you go onto Wikipedia, and type in Jimmy Wales...or James Wales the content itself is "identical"...BUT he is using two names
/info/en/?search=Jimmy_wales /info/en/?search=James_Wales
Fortunately for Mr. Wales....he only has two ways for people to confuse his name and you can find him quit easily by using of the spelling of his name..
UNFORTUNATELY.....I cannot seem to be able to get this point through to any of your volunteers.....
I have been written about by the sports industry for over 50 years and all articles I have absolutely no control over...and they have posted them using my name.
UNFORTUNATELY "I CANNOT" seem to be able to get anyone on your staff to understand that just like their boss....I have more than one way of spelling my name...
My name said by other people is either Fred, Freddy, Freddie, Frederick or Frederic...
"I DO NOT WANT TO CHANGE ANY OF THE EXISTING CONTENT in any way" that has already been on your site for years...
I just want it linked to each of my given names as ..Jimmy or James has done above....
The content is exactly the same but under two different first names.
WHAT PART OF THIS DO I NEED TO EXPLAIN AGAIN.....

Kindly suggest us how to post my articles about the company ? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Alexchristinusa ( talk • contribs) 09:13, 21 December 2013 (UTC)
I've put Leuren Moret up for deletion but the template doesn't come out the way it ought; it displays the first of the AfD discussions on this article. I followed the instructions to the best of my ability. But AfD is way beyond my ability, obviously. Itsmejudith ( talk) 12:47, 21 December 2013 (UTC)
So I am trying to move Aishwarya Rai Filmography to Aishwarya Rai filmography per WP:MOSCAP. Unfortunately, there is already a redirect from Aishwarya Rai filmography to Aishwarya Rai Filmography so I can't do that. I already tried to add it at the requested moves page, but because of the redirect the template shows up as an error. How can I redirect so that Aishwarya Rai Filmography redirects to Aishwarya Rai filmography? Yamada Taro ( talk) 15:06, 21 December 2013 (UTC)
Recently the article John Ronan (poet) was deleted by EDD. Previously, November 29, DGG had nominated the article for delete and on December 1 Green Cardamom suggested a weak delete. Because of this disagreement, SANDSTEIN relisted the discussion for a week. In the meantime, Green Cardamom’s suggestions were followed and new video documentary material, citing awards and various PBS broadcasts, were added with the hope that the article would kept, tagged stub. At the end of the extension week, December 14, the article was deleted. We want to find out if EDD re-examined the article after the changes and before deletion, or simply looked at the previous two comments.
We supposed we might have added our own ‘keep’ during the discussion, but we are involved in its creation and are not Wiki editors. We thought it not appropriate. (Perhaps we were wrong?) Poetfans ( talk) 16:01, 21 December 2013 (UTC) Poetfans ( talk) 16:03, 21 December 2013 (UTC)
