Please don't get angry - I have added a citation which is from a college magazine so the publisher is hard to ascertain. Please fix Ref number 99 on this page. Thanks Srbernadette ( talk) 03:16, 18 December 2018 (UTC)
Good morning, I created a page talking about the person Serge Lazareff. I'm working for NATO and we have a directive to institutionalize a "Serge Lazareff Prize", which is for the persons who did something good for legal services. This prize was authorized by a directive from our Chief of Staff (4 stars general). Now I received the information than I cannot talk about persons, I cannot promote persons. This person already died, and is our Patron, for our Legal Office at NATO. I would like to publish a page with Serge Lazareff photo and writing about his life, also explain what the prize means. Please I will wait for help in this matter. Have a nice day

Hi there, I undid an edit by pressing undo but don't know how to comment on the revision I made. I need to add an explanation to the revision page. Epicforest ( talk) 10:20, 18 December 2018 (UTC)
On Wikidata I can enable "Structured Discussions on user talk", how do I do that here on enwiki?-- Micru ( talk) 10:58, 18 December 2018 (UTC)
I was under the impression that WP encourages editors to include the source note "via=Newspapers.com" and the "free access" logo
when adding "Clippings" to citations, as per the example given on
Wikipedia:Newspapers.com. However, these items were deleted by another editor when I added clippings to the biography of
John Le Mesurier, which happens to be a Featured Article. So, is including this information recommended or not?--

Hi there! My name is Zac Brewer and I've tried to correct info on my page, but keep getting warnings that my changes have been reverted due to being vandalism...? How do I correct my own info so the public knows the truth about me? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.206.223.230 ( talk) 15:56, 18 December 2018 (UTC)
I've been working on a page for the Irish folk song "Carraig Aonair" known in English as "The Lone Rock". I need help from an Irish speaker to correctly syllablise the original Irish words to the music. Please go to User:Martin of Sheffield/sandbox if you can help. If you are not used to Lilypond syntax don't worry, we can work on things together. Thanks, Martin of Sheffield ( talk) 16:44, 18 December 2018 (UTC)
Hello,
I need to update Achronix's logo as they have a new one: https://www.embedded-vision.com/sites/default/files/logos/ACHRONIX_full_logo_tagline_black_and_green_2018.jpg.
This is their Wikipedia page: /info/en/?search=Achronix. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 190.108.82.46 ( talk) 17:41, 18 December 2018 (UTC)
A previous editor attempted to place the piped link [[biodegradation|bio-degradable]] in the intro of Riceland Foods, but, for whatever reason, the link was unsuccessful. I tried to correct the issue by re-inserting the link, but I was unsuccessful. An attempt to use the link in the sandbox was successful, however. Why is it not working in the article then? - Presidentman talk · contribs ( Talkback) 20:27, 18 December 2018 (UTC)
Dr Kendrick is a hugely respected and highly scrupulous scientist who deals only in scientific facts.
His deletion is a travesty.
His profile should be restored and an apology made. — Preceding unsigned comment added by BobCrabtree ( talk • contribs) 20:28, 18 December 2018 (UTC)
