I recently had interaction with Wikipedia, essentially extolling the virtues of Wikipedia. I have also donated to the organisation. But I am now horrified to hear how you have blocked or removed credible academic's posts or references to those people. I have considerable respect for these people. Given your remit, this action/behaviour by you represents hypocrisy on the grandest of scale. I indicates that your 'world view' is not as illuminated as I personally along with others have hitherto thought.
Given that I appear to have been blocked from editing as well... You have therefore lost my confidence and support.
This organisation prides itself on being a 'virtual' encyclopedia for, and by the people. Yet this behaviour just proves to us that you are as controlled as the main stream media.
Until such time as you lose the blinkers and shrug off the entities that control what you publish, I will remain in this frame of mind. A shame really given the range of information you handle. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Deebz270 ( talk • contribs) 02:45, 16 March 2016 (UTC)
About an hour ago, I made an edit to the 'Boeing AH-64 Apache' article. For some unknown reason, it was reverted by the user Fnlayson. He/she claims there was an uncited addition, but doesn't specify further. Is there any way to peacefully rectify this impasse? Myopia1 ( talk) 04:08, 16 March 2016 (UTC)
Your articles about Sharon Bryant of Atlantic Starr and the indian chief Sharon Bryant states that both ladies are dead and that they died on the same day, June 23, 2015. I believe Sharon Bryant of Atlantic Starr is still alive and can't find any info about her death outside Wikipedia. If both ladies are dead, I highly death they died on the same day. Please clear this up and give accurate info about which of the two ladies is dead. Dmacdmac54 ( talk) 11:45, 16 March 2016 (UTC)
Hi, you know that there's often events publicized at the top of pages in the wikipedia space. I was wondering if somebody could tell me who deals with that sort of thing? It's just I'd like to see Wikipedia:WikiProject Wales/Awaken the Dragon announced across wikipedia before it begins.♦ Dr. Blofeld 12:11, 16 March 2016 (UTC)
All I could find is the {{Commons category|name}} tag but is this correct? In the edit section, where do I include this, and also, how many categories do I include? Just one, or any that is relevant to the page? Thank you. |Book-Portal| Talk 10:30, 16 March 2016 (UTC)
I have seen many bands have Wikipedia pages, and of course I'm interested in getting mine on the site as well as a quick reference for anyone looking to do research. Since I am in the band, I'm automatically disqualified for creating the article. So, how can I get one started without being a part of its creation? If anyone would be interested in writing an unbiased article about us, we have an online presence in social media as well as a website (www.mercyisle.com). I don't need an article saying "OMG this band is the bestest in the world!" only a straightforward informational article would be nice. Ideas, anyone?

Hello
I am working on the page of my CEO Gillian Caldwell and the page is showing multiple issues as follows:
This article has multiple issues. Please help improve it or discuss these issues on the talk page. This article is an orphan, as no other articles link to it. Please introduce links to this page from related articles; try the Find link tool for suggestions. (August 2010) The topic of this article may not meet Wikipedia's general notability guideline. (November 2009) This biographical article needs additional citations for verification. (November 2009)
The article is not an orphan and there are several citations on this page. With this in mind could you please tell me how to get rid of these issue messages?
Many thanks

In 1947 -1948 I was in the U.S. Army stationed at Staten Island Area Station Hospital "SIASH". Why is this Army Hospital which cared for wounded servicemen during World War II not a part of this areas history ? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.184.246.27 ( talk) 21:41, 16 March 2016 (UTC)

If you want to submit a draft to WP:Afc and a previous draft by another editor has already been rejected, what's the procedure? Do you just submit it on the same page? Clarityfiend ( talk) 23:53, 16 March 2016 (UTC)
