WP currently has an Age Controversies category "for people for whom there are, or have been disagreements and discrepancies regarding dates of birth and death." Would it be worthwhile to add a category called Birthplace Controversies for biographies of those whose country of birth is/was disputed? e.g. Peter Wyngarde, Merle Oberon, Carlos Gardel, etc. (I don't think such a category currently exists.) -- Muzilon ( talk) 03:58, 23 August 2018 (UTC)
That was one of the reasons I suggested the category name should be Birthplace controversies. As with Age controversies, it avoids the "is/was" problem. Carlos Gardel is another example. It looks like the English-language Wikipedia is solidly on the side of France as his birthplace, whereas the Spanish-language Wikipedia is still giving equal weight to France and Uruguay.-- Muzilon ( talk) 10:49, 24 August 2018 (UTC)

"how do I make additions?": See Wikipedia:Tutorial/Editing and Wikipedia:FAQ/Editing
"how do I...write a new article?": See Wikipedia:Your first article
"Is the information from the Original Scrolls and the multitude of bibles translations accepted ?": As any material or article being added to Wikipedia requires to be verified necessarily by reliable sources, the answer to your question depends upon the context in which you'll use the information. On the face of it, the sources you mention seem to be primary, and should be broadly avoided; and if used, then only with absolute discretion. See WP:PRIMARY for more details.
"Is the revelation from Our Creator Holy Spirit which can be proved in real existent fact accepted ?": Well, this seems like original research, which Wikipedia articles and material should not be based upon. See Wikipedia:No original research for more information on this.

I want to edit the list of Jean Sibelius' compositions ( /info/en/?search=List_of_compositions_by_Jean_Sibelius) by adding works that are missing. I want to use Live Editor, as I find source editing too complicated. But it seems I'm doing something wrong - I select the top row, click on the left arrow and then I select 'Insert below'. After inserting the information into the table, everything looks fine when I preview, but after publishing my changes, the table is somehow re-formatted so that the line below the one I just added is merged with that line. What am I doing wrong? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Eliasnoreland ( talk • contribs) 11:17, 23 August 2018 (UTC)
Is there a way of knowing who is running the bot for a particular edit? Hope all is well refdeskers. —SerialNumber54129 paranoia / cheap sh*t room 13:56, 23 August 2018 (UTC)

I created a page for DexYP and it was rejected twice. I made the requested changes to the page and resubmitted it on June 28 and it hasn't been reject, but it also hasn't gone live.

When you click onto the link for bassist Keith Christopher, it takes you to a link about an actor Keith Christopher, who died in 1998. That is NOT the same Keith Christopher as the current bass guitarist for Lynyrd Skynyd, who joined the band last year (2017).
You may want to correct this.
Thank you,

Hi I was looking for our think tanks founder Pakistani Canadian actor and political strategists Azmi Haq's wiki page. His Wikipedia page has gone missing and I have also not been able to locate it in the deletion logs. When I click on the Azmi Haq link through the Salon Camden wiki page it states that the article I am looking for does not exist. /info/en/?search=Salon_Camden Should I create a brand new page or is there a way to revive it?
