I read over the ping page and am not getting it.... if I want to invite someone to a talk page, what is the exact thing I type in to ping them? is " user:xyz" enough to ping user xyz? TantraYum ( talk) 01:31, 1 May 2018 (UTC)
{{
ping|xyz}}
. The edit which adds the link must be signed. It's not enough to sign in one edit and add the link in another. There are a few other technicalities but they are rarely relevant. "the ping page" could refer to different pages so I'm not sure what you read. Please always link a page you refer to.

09:25, 2 May 2018 (UTC)In the Hugh Lupton section on this page, the file just added is too big. Please make it smaller. Thanks. 175.33.22.145 ( talk) 11:43, 1 May 2018 (UTC)
I've started many drafts but a lot of them are unlikely to be completed before the 6 month deadline and they're auto-deleted. Is there a way to find them all? The list of pages I've created doesn't seem to contain my draft space articles. Abyssal ( talk) 12:11, 1 May 2018 (UTC)
To Whom It May Concern,
I'm reaching out to see how I can protect the editing of a company page?

Please note that a file added on the Hugh Lupton section has the wrong date. I have corrected the information in the Wikipedia text. Can you please fix up the accompanying text on the commons file to match. The picture was taken circa 1924 and it is Francis Lupton who is standing in the picture, not Arthur. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 175.33.22.145 ( talk) 13:31, 1 May 2018 (UTC)

19:56, 1 May 2018 (UTC)I would like to write an article for an attack in China on an ARD film crew in 2013. A long description of the attack is currently hosted within the Sanhe article, the city where the attack occurred. But it seems excessive to have most of the article on a city of 500,000 dominated by this incident so I want to shift most of the content to its own article. The attack received coverage in the NYT and prompted the German government to summon an official from the Chinese embassy so no question about notability. However, there is no clear name for the attack. According to Wikipedia's convention, what should it be called?

21:54, 1 May 2018 (UTC)Hi. I created an account way back in 2008, apparently. Apparently I used my personal email and my professional email to create the account. But I no longer have that professional email account. Now when I ask to reset the email, it apparently goes to the professional email, not my personal email. And of course, I'm using a different computer. Is there a way I can reclaim that account or do I need to create a new account? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 204.124.92.254 ( talk) 20:48, 1 May 2018 (UTC)
Hi I have removed an incorrectly labelled and copyright Commons file from the page. I hope this is OK. Can you check please? The file was in the Hugh Lupton section - a photo of Joyce Lupton and her 2 sons. Thanks Srbernadette ( talk) 23:51, 1 May 2018 (UTC)
