(I couldn't find a really suitable noticeboard or village pump section for this question, so please tell me if I'm in the wrong place.) Is there any consensus about edits made by a sockpuppet of a blocked user? Do you revert them, revert unless they add something very good, or does it vary from case to case? There's a persistent sockmaster, Samima khatun, that uses socks to add low-quality text to some specific articles. I have seen editors remove text for the only reason that it was made by a sock of a banned user, but I'm not sure if that's according to the English Wikipedia consensus.

Hello everybody, I noticed the FAQ button on the Help desk. Is there any effort to archive frequently asked Reference desk questions, other than the automatic archives, which collect all questions? (I'm not suggesting to replace the "Search RD archives" button, just to give another means of accessing the topics.)
If not, would it be a WP:BADIDEA, in the sense that it would violate one of the WP:rules? If it's not a bad idea, what would the WP veterans think about it? Should it go into a certain namespace? For example, would User:One.Ouch.Zero/RDFAQ be appropriate for an index, or would it imply too much WP:OWNership? - ¡Ouch! ( hurt me / more pain) 10:59, 11 April 2014 (UTC)
BTFW, I totally forgot about the "Wikipedia_talk" namespace. Bummer. Wow, thanks, that's about what I wanted to start. WP:ICANTBELIEVETHATFAQWASDISCONTINUED5YEARSAGO. - ¡Ouch! ( hurt me / more pain) 12:50, 11 April 2014 (UTC)

Regarding "publicity", there is nothing positive or negative here on Wikipedia. Any information is added to contribute to thee overall content of the article. And definitely, no one is going to consider the incident as something "negative", it is just a piece of information. -- Fauzan ✆ talk ✉ email 18:01, 11 April 2014 (UTC)
The article that I am writing is about a new started shoe company. I wrote the article and sent it for a review and it got declined because of the references. My references were from their website since all of their references are in different magazines and not online. So my question is: How do I add those print articles as references in my article? Is it possible? Miktry ( talk) 12:21, 11 April 2014 (UTC)
Reference help requested. I went in to correct a referencing error that I introduced but ended up screwing up other things. Can you help with this? Thanks, Ras2thebone ( talk) 12:31, 11 April 2014 (UTC)

Dear Wikipedia,
In Portugal when you look for the name "Sónia Matias" you only end up to a soccer player, but there is a female much more famous and known in Portugal that you misses out on.
She also is Sónia Matias, but she´s well known because de became the first female becoming professional in are arte of "cavaleira de toureio" wich in Inglish dosen´t exist, but it´s a kind of bull fight between the horse rider and the bull in the arena. Very famous in Spain, the only Country that in fact kills the bull afterwords.
But she is very famous in Portugal, professional artist, and much more well known the the soccer player Sónia Matias, howcame she dosen´t have no article ou Wikipedia?
For any information look at facebook "Sónia Matias"
Thank You

PERCY JULIAN: Google Doodle salutes pioneering chemist as a man utterly in his elements' – Not Included in Wikipedia Inventor List
It was refreshing to read about Percy Julian, his accomplishments and contributions to the American Science and Medical fields; and to the world.
The unfortunate reminder about your story, is the constant and continuous shroud of obscurity and anonymity that Black inventors are kept under.
How many White, Asian, Latino, European, tec. Children will go to Wikipedia List of inventors to search for inventors, and find no Black inventors listed, not even the late Percy Julian will appear on that list, you have to put in “Black Inventor, and how many people who are Not Black are going to do that:
And many others!
Let’s stop excluding these Great Americans from their place in history with the rest of the Great American Inventors…

Hello, I am trying to upload a photo of Joey Moi to his page. I am his business manager and i would like his wikipedia page to contain images. I joined so that i could upload but was told that I cannot upload the photo until i have 10 edits and four days for verification. I don't have a page that i can make 10 edits to so i'm hoping you'd be able to upload the photo to his page for me or somehow help me get this photo on his page.

I've been a contributor for over 8 years and been made a Review Editor. Though my user page is there, I cannot log in using Noles1984. There seems to be no way around it. I just need help logging in. This is strange. I maintain several domains and could put up a very temp email address then delete once I get help.

I made a serious post and somebody did just delete it? How do i get all the things back? Becuase it took a long time to make it all. And i really don't understand why it was taking down? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Morten Darving Schlüter ( talk • contribs) 23:19, 11 April 2014 (UTC)
Previously it worked fine - last time I'd used it in late March.
I'd discovered a problem after a letter I sent, I do not received a copy to my e-mail
In recent days, I'd made several checks with different wiki-users' help.
Result: my messegase not received, including and a copy to my e-mail.
Their messeges I do receive, so something not working for me.
Restore all default settings (in all sections) did not help, the result - the same .
What else can I do?
