I attempted to add that Grant High School won LA City Championships for swimming in 1964 and 1965 and Cluebot deleted the edits the next day. Somehow Cluebot knows more about the subject than I do even though I was on the swimming team at the time and have copies of newspaper articles and certificates and trophies as evidence. So Cluebot is, in this regard, clueless. What special magic power to I have to obtain from Wikipedia to defeat Cluebot?

I was helping out with some DAB links and noticed something which I hadn't before. We have many articles devoted to specific names. Some, such as Ellie are simply disambiguation pages, while some, such as Matt and Victor are DABs (though note the difference in style between the two) that also have articles that talk specifically about the names (in this case, Victor (name) and Matt (name)). Is there a standing rule about how these are supposed to work? For example, should Ellie remain as a DAB page and/or get moved to Ellie (name) (currently a redirect)? Articles that link to Ellie are flagged as having links in need of disambiguation, but that's not really always going to be the case. Articles like List of most popular given names (which is what started me on this) just want a link to an article about the name. Thoughts? Matt Deres ( talk) 01:36, 10 January 2016 (UTC)
At Articles for Creation, I requested a random article, and got Draft:Maryse Warda. I reviewed it, and found it to be ready for acceptance. However, Accept was not one of the options from the AFCH tab. I had to Submit it. I then apparently made the mistake of submitting as myself rather than as the page creator. I then accepted it. I was then notified of its acceptance, but now I can't identify the page creator to notify them of acceptance. Can an administrator please help me? Robert McClenon ( talk) 03:39, 10 January 2016 (UTC) It seems that the previous history has been destroyed, and I can't retrieve it. This seems to be to be a bug (or misfeature).

I am having some problems with updating templates. Earlier, a template updated at one point, updated at all points (on all pages where it is there). Now, the update remains at one point and others remain without being updated: Take for example the following templates: Template:Settlements in Raichur district Template:Siraha District Template:Santhal Pargana Division topics
Can someone please help in updating in a manner it is reflected on all pages on which these are placed? - Chandan Guha ( talk) 04:55, 10 January 2016 (UTC)
When said "Unambiguous Copyright Infringement" of an article I've did to help another page, what caused the G12 to happen? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Malachq ( talk • contribs) 06:11, 10 January 2016 (UTC)

There is a serious problem in the articles ' Catalonia' and ' Basque Country'. Some anti-Spanish users —like JaumeR ( talk · contribs) and Akerbeltz ( talk · contribs)— want to add incomplete maps. They are incorrect maps. All other regions of Spain have the same type of locator map. Please, I request vandalism in those articles prevent, restrict and block vandals users. Excuse my limited English proficiency. Satesclop 20:53, 10 January 2016 (UTC)
This appears to be a content dispute, and as such should be discussed at an appropriate venue (for example the article talkpage, or WP:DR)- it doesn't appear to be about asking for help editing Wikipedia, which is what this help desk is for. Joseph2302 ( talk) 23:19, 10 January 2016 (UTC)
