Hello, How do I send a direct message to a specific editor? ---- — Preceding unsigned comment added by Vastcorp ( talk • contribs) 03:34, 3 April 2019 (UTC)
Is there a policy or guideline that supports an editor moving an article from article space to draft space, without discussion, because they have a concern about the article? I've only been here for 15 years and such a practice seems new to me. I'd have thought tagging, or prod, or AfD, or even just talking to the author of the article would be the way to go. But I have come across a user who seems to be making a habit of moving articles to draft, without discussion, because they don't like something about the article. Just want to check I've not missed a memo. -- Tagishsimon ( talk) 04:45, 3 April 2019 (UTC)
Hi
I already tried several times to create a wikipedia page for the Stanhope Hotel by Thon Hotels, but every time it got deleted. I'm out of inspiration of how I can publish the page. I added already 10 sources and it still got deleted. Can you please help me, because I'm desperate.
Thank you in advance! Jens — Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.123.11.180 ( talk) 08:42, 3 April 2019 (UTC)
Hi greetings. I'm seeking you for a help. I had saw that my name is listed in some lists of COIBot.

Hello, I have written an article and clicked "publish," but days later it is still not live, and it still says "draft" in front of the article title. Is there a waiting period of a few days before it goes live or something? Thanks for helping!

16:21, 3 April 2019 (UTC)I've been working on a proposed revision for
Template:WikiProject Numismatics in one of its
sandboxes. What I'm trying to do is add the new
American currency task force below the other two task forces. The problem I've run into is that only one of the task force images is showing, and in the wrong place. The images should appear in the following order:
Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong? Thanks -

I have been editing Wikipedia pages truthfully recently and some guy by the name "Serols" has been contacting me saying that he has changed my edits and has asked me to stop. I did not do anything wrong and would like a formal apology and a small loan of $1,000,000. — Preceding unsigned comment added by SmartGuy1011 ( talk • contribs) 17:56, 3 April 2019 (UTC)
Hi there,
I was wondering if there was a way, when using the printable version of an article, to print colour within boxes.
For example, List of pollen sources puts the actual shade of the stated colour within the box. This is helpful, but disappears when looking at print preview - can it be retained?

Much to my surprise, I've been informed that this sort of link David Alexander Dunlap "is very strange: it is forbidden (by bot!) in many wikies (Ukrainian, Russian, may be French, German, ...) as deceptive." I don't recall where on Wikipedia I picked it up from, and would appreciate feedback. Thank you, Lindenfall ( talk) 20:24, 3 April 2019 (UTC)

Editors are by definition knowledgeable about WP and its conventions. Readers often are less savvy. Is there a template or standard explanatory text that is WP:RF orientated and can be put on pages where there are a number of interlanguage links? The specific case I'm thinking about is List of dedications to Edith Cavell where there are a lot of references to memorials in non-Anglophone regions. Many of these will never be WP:NOTABLE for the English language encyclopaedia, but there are local language pages. Again, specifically the Rue Edith Cavell in Uccle, Belgium is not really notable in the English WP. Before I create a lot of such links from the page, I feel readers need to be guided as to what they mean. Martin of Sheffield ( talk) 08:46, 4 April 2019 (UTC)
Hi everyone,
I would like to edit the page of an extremely rare disease by adding the name and webpage of the only patient organization there is. Would that be an acceptable Wikipedia edit? In rare disease information is hard to come by and I thought this could be a good place to share it. Thank you Ekati EkatiBloom ( talk) 20:47, 3 April 2019 (UTC)
