Can anyone suggest other categories for my article? William Bolton (post-captain) I have added a few since it first went up, and skim-read many pages on categories, but not sure what else to add to this one. And at what point does that template at the top of the article get removed?
Also, according to the criteria listed here: /info/en/?search=Wikipedia:WikiProject_assessment, I think that this article must be at least C-Class by now? It might not be perfect, but I've assembled and summarised pretty much all info about this man that's available online. I could go into yet more detail about his earlier career, what was written about him in the long obit., etc. but then surely that would be heading towards "too much information for a minor historical figure"? At what point do articles get reassessed? Laterthanyouthink ( talk) 01:24, 28 May 2018 (UTC)
Someone named Melcous undid an edit in error: My edits updated entries to Albert Podell's bio info on /info/en/?search=List_of_people_by_number_of_countries_visited
Podell just wrote to me: "albert podell <alpodell@email address To: David Smith May 27 at 9:01 PM (EDT) D I have no idea how Wikipedia works, although I do know they like sources so they can verify claims.
If you can reply to him or her, the reply should be that my book cites 196 because those are all the recognized countries in the world.and that is what the book was about. I have also visited eleven de facto (but unrecognized) countries, same as the other people near the top of the list, and can document this with photos, passport entries, and/or affidavits from people who accompanied me to those entities."
I wish to cancel the undo and to revert to what I entered originally, all, of course, according to your rules and protocol. Please advise.
I am a first time editor.

ZYN! ( | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) Could someone please help in moving an article to the section 'Article for Deletion'? It is way too long ago since I wrote on Wiki (and have probs with all these lots of changes and no time for looking up each single editing-command). Request for deletion concerns the article /ZYN! that was an translated text from the German Wiki. The page is irrelevant, not well written and should be deleted. Thanks for help. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Whoever99 ( talk • contribs) 11:39, 28 May 2018 (UTC)

Hello Wikipedia
I am a Zimbabwean novelist who writes under the name Ian Holding. A Wikipedia page on me exists ( /info/en/?search=Ian_Holding) but there is a message on it which says "This biographical article is written like a résumé. Please help improve it by revising it to be neutral and encyclopedic. (January 2012)"
Is there any way someone could correct this page so that it is more in keeping with the standards and expectations of other official Wikipedia pages? I would obviously like the page to be as correct and as objective as possible.
With thanks, Ian Holding — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2C0F:F8F0:F252:0:9C86:2A41:8428:2807 ( talk) 14:38, 28 May 2018 (UTC)
I created the page "fractional currency shield" and would like to add a photo of a shield to the page. I would take the photo myself, and so there will be no copyright (and I waive such restrictions). How do I proceed?

claimants to most countries visited begin with the 193 UN member states and then are permitted to add dubious entities such as Antarctica, Wales, Palestine, Western Sahara, etc. What are the criteria, where is the cutoff? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sippewissett ( talk • contribs) 15:43, 28 May 2018 (UTC)
This question refers to the following Wikipedia article: Murder of Pam Basu. You can see the "View History of Edits" page (which I do not know how to link to). I have listed that article with the Category "murdered doctors". There is a "bot" that keeps changing it to "murdered physicians". I keep reverting the change. But, it keeps getting changed back. I assume that this is a "bot" and that these actions are being done automatically by the computer, without a real person doing them. (But I am not sure, since I don't really know how "bots" work.) In any event, the person in the article (Pam Basu) was a doctor, but not a physician. She was the "PhD" type of doctor, not the "medical/MD" type of doctor. So, the category "murdered doctors" is appropriate for that article, but the category "murdered physicians" is not. How does this problem get fixed? Thanks. Joseph A.

Dear Sir ... We have noticed that the employees in your Arabic section have no neutrality at all in the articles they publish, as they move away from the scientific method and the truth by subtracting the subjects. For example, one of the articles about the Ottoman Empire, which clearly showed the writer's desire to defend one of the worst countries Throughout history, the radical Islamic ideas of the editor of the article have also emerged, in which he distanced himself from the most basic principles of Wikipedia, namely, the commitment to complete neutrality, not to attempt to put the writer's personal opinion or to promote any extremist political ideas. When we tried to draw their attention, They delated our comments with all bravery ... Please re-evaluate the performance of the staff in your Arab section — Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.47.3.124 ( talk) 17:49, 28 May 2018 (UTC)
I have been editing/updating the episode descriptions on the following page: /info/en/?search=List_of_The_Affair_episodes#Episodes
Something has gone wrong in the formatting of this page and I cannot figure out what. The Season 1 episodes are now showing in Season 2 and episode 10 for Season 1 is not visible at all - but all information is there when you go into EDIT mode. I need help with fixing it. Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kihill33 ( talk • contribs) 18:17, 28 May 2018 (UTC)
Yes Martinevans123 I have a question why did you delete the genre this song was Alternative rock, soft rock and country rock because in the song the guitar riff was similar by Johnny Cash and George Harrison and give me a chance for you to put it back and I won’t changing things bad again thank you for your time — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ser-rod-7 ( talk • contribs) 18:50, 28 May 2018 (UTC)
You know what how about I can just answer to the ceo of Wikipedia to tell him that you won’t believe me about what I said it right about fixing the genre of Coldplay the scientist their song and now I’m just gonna answer it right now because this was my first day first time signing this Wikipedia website. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ser-rod-7 ( talk • contribs) 00:22, 29 May 2018 (UTC)
I posted this on Village pump's technical page, but never received any assistance. During the Twinkle rollback bug issue I reset all my settings. Now when I rollback and go to warn the User, the User TalkPage automatically launches in edit source mode and not the static (read) mode I am used to. This also happens when I click on non-existant pages/redlinks. Any way to prevent this? Thanks in advance for any help. Please ping me as I don't watch pages. Best, Classicwiki ( talk) If you reply here, please ping me. 19:08, 28 May 2018 (UTC)
Hello there. So a few minutes ago I was trying to update the draft for Descendants 3. Their was an announcement made a week ago about the final additions to the cast. So I was trying to add that information to the article and even cite a reference to the announcement. But people keep telling me my additions are disruptive and vandalism. What do I do? — Preceding unsigned comment added by ZoeeTalksALot ( talk • contribs) 20:47, 28 May 2018 (UTC)
