Is it possible to have (and/or upload) this picture from the WIKIPEDIA in Hebrew on the WIKIPEDIA in English? It is for the article of Edith Hahn Beer. ★ Nacho ★ ★ 02:55, 31 July 2014 (UTC)
Dear editors: I am working on a draft article, Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Alex Rutherford A husband and wife team are both authors. The wife has written a number of non-fiction books alone; the couple have written several non-fiction books under their own names; as well they have written a series of fiction books under a pseudonym as if they were one person. I am still working on finding and adding citations to the article, but eventually I will have to choose a name. The draft was submitted under the pseudonym, but the article isn't totally about that. Would it be reasonable to title the article "Diane and Michael Preston", reorganize the article to discuss the older books first and the newer books under the pseudonym last, and create redirects "Diane Preston", "Michael Preston (author)", and "Alex Rutherford"? — Anne Delong ( talk) 02:59, 31 July 2014 (UTC)
I was wondered for Nitrome Article was duplicated for Super Feed Me. I know that called Speedily Deletion for Wikia articles. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bryancyriel ( talk • contribs) 03:13, 31 July 2014 (UTC)
Rich Constable ( | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)
A user, Djflem, is obsessed with him.
Djflem only makes changes to his page to embarrass him. Indeed, he spends paragraphs discussing obscure topics relating to him, to make him appear incompetent.
Further, 7 months ago the Mayor of Hoboken, Dawn Zimmer, went on television and alleged that Constable and 3 other Governor Chris Chris cabinet official extorted her. Zimmer's only "evidence" was a notebook that Zimmer purportedly authored 8 months earlier. Constable has never been arrested or convicted (nor the other 2 Zimmer accused). Yet, Djflem only adds text and citations for the sole focus of sensationalizing and supporting Zimmer's unproven allegation.
Last, Djflem added a section on Constable's page about COAH. Other than the first 2 sentences, Constable isn't even mentioned. Again, Djflem's point is to make Constable look bad.
Please stop Djflem from vandalizing Constable's page.
This is a BPL of a marginally relevant person (he is a member of Gov. Chris Christie's cabinet).
Djflem should not be permitted to defame him with tabloid-like negative edits. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2607:FB90:1506:76ED:2050:EA7C:52C7:299F ( talk) 03:24, 31 July 2014 (UTC)
I've made a few subpages while editing my userpage and while writing a userscript and a couple of those subpages I actually don't want anymore. How do you mark a script subpage for deletion? For example.. User:David_Condrey/sidenav.js I tried marking it db-g7 as I would for a typical userpage but the tag doesn't work. Thanks. David Condrey ( talk) 06:00, 31 July 2014 (UTC)

The YearInNorthernIrelandNav template is damaged and not displaying correctly - see for example 1960 in Northern Ireland. I don't know how to get at the template and I'm not sure I'd be able to edit it correctly even if I could. Camboxer ( talk) 08:05, 31 July 2014 (UTC)
Hi This is Molly. I have created the page for Khoo Meng Yang on 29/7, and I received advises to add in the references. I have added in 3 references. How do I know the information is sufficient now and to so that to remove the tag. Thank you very much !

I'm helping a new editor write an article about an author. He has used <ref>{{OCLC|123456789}}</ref> in the bibliography list. Is there a tool that can expand these to complete "cite book" references? Neither "Reflinks" (which easily handles isbn/doi/pubmed and other similar codes) nor "Expand citations" in the Tools menu want to bite. Roger (Dodger67) ( talk) 11:57, 31 July 2014 (UTC)
I put up a new article Frank Hedges Butler a couple of days ago, & it got tagged by the search bot as a possible copyvio. I'm certainly not guilty of copypasting the content & imagine that it's been tagged because certain phrases (the fifth son on so-and so, a businessman from London, or whatever, are so generic that they are difficult to avoid). I was simply wondering why it's taking what seems to me to be a long time beforebeing either deleted or cleared. I have autopatrolled rights, if that is relevant.

Hi,
My name is Taylor and I am a freshman at Indiana University. Recently I wrote an article on a company located in Beverly Hills, CA, which is where I grew up. The company is called "Manor Ridge Wealth." I was wondering how long it will take for the company information to go up on Wikipedia or what the reason is that it has not been submitted already. Please let me know as soon as possible. Thank you for your time and help.

Hi, all. I would like to know the communities' opinion about disambiguating a word ("FIRJAN") that has two meanings: it is related both to an African tribe and a Brazilian company. I think it is legitimate to create this disambiguation page, but there is a user that insists it is a promotional action. There is no doubt I am from this company that would not like to have its name confused with a tribe, but the fact I am the one doing this edit does not make it promotional. What do you think? Am I breaking any policy of Wikipedia in doing so? Best wishes, Bernardo -- Sistema Firjan ( talk) 21:00, 31 July 2014 (UTC).
I am the originating author of the page T.R. Threston and I have proof that the sources sited are true and I am willing to fax or email over the proof. There is a lot of negative bias on her "Talk" page and it very oblivious the people reporting the citing and sources as false didn't check very hard at all. And they are actually bordering on libel at this point since everything can be proven true. Kindly advise. — Preceding unsigned comment added by AustralianThreston ( talk • contribs) 21:39, 31 July 2014 (UTC)
