I'm trying to reference information for a wiki article I'm trying to write about Oklahoma Employees Credit Union. I found the information I need on the National Credit Union Association's website under the search but it wont give me a direct url to the information.
To see what I'm talking about, go to:
1. http://researchcu.ncua.gov/Views/creditUnionInfo.aspx 2. Type in "Oklahoma Employees."
It leads me to the information I need but I can't directly link to it.
Also, am I correct that this is a credible source? It's not a blog, a private webpage, but it's not a news article either. It's a government page.
Thanks! — Preceding unsigned comment added by MikeLHoang ( talk • contribs) 09:29, 7 January 2014 (UTC)

Dear Fellow Wikipedia users,
Being an alumni, its quite unfortunate/embarrassing to see "This article appears to be written like an advertisement". I do agree that the article seems to have been written by an undergraduate freshman of the institute looking for external gratification.
That being said, the institute is indeed one of the finest in the country. I have made the necessary changes and have removed external links (username: MilindKPZ). I believe that the article seems alright now. I would be happy to make further changes, in case you feel otherwise.
I have raised a similar concern on the article talk page. Unfortunately, it has remained unnoticed.
I hope that you remove the banner “This article… advertisement”.
Yours sincerely MilindKPZ ( talk) 10:49, 7 January 2014 (UTC)
PS: I have also sent an email to info-en-q <at> wikimedia.org before realising that there is a dedicated help page for it. I apologise for the duplication.

Hi all,
The page Tsogo sun incorrectly has a lowercase 's' on the word 'sun' where it actually need to be upper case. Is there any way of editing this?

Other than a quick read yesterday I have no interest/involvement with this page ( John Hope (educator)). However, I noticed some dates recently changed to obviously incorrect dates by an anon user. Looking at the "talk" page shows that this has been a pattern.
I "undid" some recently changed dates on this page but I would like to know the proper place to suggest/request some sort of protection. Arbalest Mike ( talk) 15:33, 7 January 2014 (UTC)
Would it be possible to 1. Remove the preliminary draft which has "Nellie 14" in the title. It shows up when people "Google" Paul Wonnacott. 2. Move up the main entry for "Paul Wonnacott" so that it appears first, at the top of the page, when you "Google" his name. Nellie14 ( talk) 16:10, 7 January 2014 (UTC)
Thank you.
P. S. I find Wikipedia very useful.

Hello I want to find out which of my past edits have been deleted but do not want to add every page that I contribute to my watchlist. What should I do? With edit count I can only know my edit count and deleted edits count but not which of my edits were deleted. Mr RD ( talk) 17:52, 7 January 2014 (UTC)
Based on Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Khon Kaen MICE Tourism, I would suggest perhaps getting a mentor to help you understand what is appropriate for editing at Wikipedia rather than promotional writing. -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 03:14, 8 January 2014 (UTC)
Dear Sir/Madam,
I've recently been informed by a colleague that the link below contains inaccurate information about our business. Loughborough Town Hall is a theatre venue, part of Charnwood Borough Council, which has featured an Art Gallery since April 2011. Please can you re-word the paragraph that states:-
"... Although it has no dedicated art gallery, fine pieces of sculpture can be found in the town's environs, including the ‘Sock Man’, a bronze statue celebrating Loughborough's association with the hosiery industry."
Here is the link - Loughborough.
I don't mind how it's re-worded, but the facts are:- Loughborough Town Hall opened its Art Gallery, called 'Sock Gallery', in April 2011 and features a full programme of exhibitions throughout the year, including an annual Open Exhibition. There is also a range of quality handmade British craft available for purchase.
With many thanks,

Hello I clarified a statement from the Etain article and it was deleted. Since I was only explaining how she had two fathers and that there was no confusion in the story only the article, I am now concerned people are going to come away with misconceptions about the tale. She was a sidhe who had a sidhe father. She was turned into a butterfly and swallowed by a mortal. She was born to a mortal. The source is the Tochmark etain. If the original story is not a reliable source then what can I say? I have no other source to give than the correctly written account of the story. The author of the article was wrong about the heroine. She was a magical being who became mortal. All of the major action occurred while she was sidhe.
All of this comes from the Tochmark Etain. Since the article has errors and clarification is now out of the question. I do not know what I can do to make it more reliable.
I am also upset that the Marwari article is blantantly inaccurate and I am unable to correct it. I have assured the Indigienious Horse Society of India that I will continue working to get a correct history and information (Including recent scientific data) out there so people will know the truth. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bedb ( talk • contribs) 22:08, 7 January 2014 (UTC)

Thank you for changing the name for me. Once the page will be reworked a little bit to be more neutral will the top Problem with Page banner go away? Kennymoore123
