Ref number 16 on the above page is all wrong. Please help. Thanks Srbernadette ( talk) 04:50, 1 February 2016 (UTC)
Thanks Eagleash for your help. should the link "Debretts" in the section "Traditional and current forms of address" have an apostrophe -the page itself has an apostrophe. Please alter if you see fit. Thanks Srbernadette ( talk) 05:06, 1 February 2016 (UTC)
One more queery - sorry!- should the quote ref. 17 be rephrased - as it is not correct English: "wives are often remain styled "Lady"." This is not the correct quote I'm sure, as it does not make sense.
the following person is a celebrity and i want to create a page for him being hi PR representative but unfortunately wiki is not allowing the strong references are his website www.saanandverma.com also you can check the star and crew for the same of the mentioned Bhabi Ji Ghar Par Hai!
In Pennsylvania Route 481, in the Major Intersections section, I changed
"location=Centerville" to "location=Centerville, Washington County" to clear up the disambiguation of "Centerville".
The problem is that it would be better to not display "Washington County". In normal text, I would used "Centerville, Washington County, Pennsylvania|Centerville". But this infobox somehow appends the state automatically and apparently normal piping can't be used. MB ( talk) 05:38, 1 February 2016 (UTC)

The individual “Mark Brelsford” keeps insisting on listing himself as a “Major Organization” of the style on this page.
However, he has no list of schools, no affiliation with an association—the individuals he claims he is under do not list him as a member nor consider him an associate.
Edits made suggested he link to the webpage for his organization which should include a listing of his schools under his organization, or list the officers of his organization. That would solve the issue. He refuses to do this.
Instead he tries to send abusive and threatening messages. In the abusive messages he makes lofty legal claims and claims to membership schools all over the United States, yet cannot name one. Searches finds none. Zero. He is listed on none of the actual "major organization" pages though he was removed from a few years ago, including the organization of the individuals he claimed association with as noted previously.
To avoid an “Edit War” it would be simple for a representative of Wikipedia to decide if this person has enough evidence--or any evidence--he may link to establish himself as “a major organization” or not. Or, perhaps it will be decided to allow single individuals to declare themselves as such and the list may be expanded to include any and all teachers and participants who wish to see their names on Wikipedia.
His further abusive messages will be ignored. Communication with such individuals serves no purpose. 98.227.140.14 ( talk) 06:05, 1 February 2016 (UTC)
I hope I have tagged this as "Resolved" properly. Should the issue arise again, I will contact the person who made the current ruling. Thanks again! 98.227.140.14 ( talk) 06:55, 3 February 2016 (UTC)

HMS Victory ( | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)
Although your infomration on HMS Victory was updated in Dec 2015, I am afraid your content is incorrect. The current Captain of Victory is a Lt Cdr B J Smith and has been since June 2015.
Your link to Admirals will require uppdating soon as Admiral Zambellas is being relived by Admiral Jones in April (8th).

If I am posting to Meta and want to wikilink to the English Wikipedia, what sort of wikilink notation do I use on meta? If this is explained in a Help document, pointing me to it would be sufficient. Robert McClenon ( talk) 18:08, 1 February 2016 (UTC)

18:34, 1 February 2016 (UTC)Hello,
after introducing my infographic
c:File:Una noche sin luna English.jpg
into an article about the movie
I found it deleted by another user, telling me that only official posters were allowed. But my infographic was not meant as a substitute for the official poster, it is a structural analysis of the movie!
Unfortunately the user didn't fulfill my request to tell me where this rule was written down
- so I am trying to get help here to find out whether my graphic is allowed in this article or not (and why exactly). Thank you.-- Reisen8 ( talk) 18:12, 1 February 2016 (UTC)
Hi There! I would like to change the title of my listing from "The Renegade Craft Fair" to "Renegade Craft Fair" as we do not use "The" as part of the brand name.

I am Andrew Goutman, the son of Dolya Goutman, who died in 2001. Dolya Goutman was a respected and prominent regional (Philadelphia) artist who deserves his own Wikipedia page.
A child prodigy, Dolya Goutman was born in Russia and emigrated to America in 1930. He graduated from the Art Institute of Chicago and ended up in California in the 1940s, where he painted the artwork for the movie Moon and Sixpence. He eventually landed in Philadelphia, where he taught for a lifetime at Moore College of Art. His bold and colorful paintings were exhibited throughout the region. Numerous press clips attest to his popularity among both art critics and art lovers.
I want to create a page about Dolya Goutman. Please explain the criteria for someone getting his own page on Wikipedia. I've been told there is a protocol.
Thank you.
