Hello. I've spent so much time, but I can't seem to get my signature right. I'm not fluent in the markup code, so I've been testing it out a lot. Below is the source code I put. The "Melo" should have blue text and a black background, and the "fors" should have black text and a blue background. However, this isn't working out how I planned.
I also ran into something weird. Using the code in my userpage, you can see on my userpage (you'll see at the beginning of my userpage) that the signature actually looks exactly how it's supposed to, expect the signature link doesn't work.
Could someone help me out to make the signature colors look how it's supposed to?
<span style="font-weight:bold;padding:1px;background-color:#000000;color:#00ffae">[[User:Melofors|Melo]]</span><span style="font-weight:bold;padding:1px;background-color:#00ffae;color:#000000">[[User:Melofors|fors]]</span>
Melo fors 00:55, 4 December 2019 (UTC)
[[User:Melofors|<b style="padding:1px;background:black;color:#0fb">Melo</b>]][[User talk:Melofors|<b style="padding:1px;background:#0fb;color:black;>fors</b>]]
. The blue color of the link took precedent so you need to add these spans inside the link. On your user page the links in your signature just turn bold instead of being links since they point to the same page they're on. –

The content for the Canam Wikipedia that was attempted to be uploaded has been kept as a draft and not approved. The reference links that are attached in the content are credible media links covering the news of the company. The Awards and Certificates and the Major Cities section from the content have been removed as well. Please suggest what I should do to create the Canam Wikipedia company page. There are companies such as IDP and Edwise International having the Wiki page live, and Canam Consultants is also having content akin to them. The nature of the work of Canam is the same as that of IDP and Edwise. I have read the publishing terms and conditions of Wikipedia and uploaded my content as per those. Therefore I request you to please approve my Canam Wikipedia page content and make the page live. which links i will not use let me know i can remove that from the reference. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Anuraj Sandhu ( talk • contribs) 06:33, 5 December 2019 (UTC)

Paul Robinson Nina Simone's drummer for her final 19 years and Van Morrison's drummer and who has worked with so many huge names and venues; Someone called Richard Seaglove apparently recently did the entire Wiki entry and said several months ago that it would be up. Paul is about to release a biography of his time with Nina Simone. We are wondering why his Wiki entry is not up yet. Really important for agents and publishers to see it up here before the book is released. Can you perhaps let me know why it's not yet up there? Is it still being verified?

I have a user page which I created many years ago and I no longer have access to the email I used. I have created a new user and I would like to link them together, or just use one and delete the other. the two users are "Ruth Billheimer" and "Ruth Billheimer, Bradford" Any ideas anybody?

A larger number of articles in Category:Technical_festivals_in_India needed a AfD than I expected. I'm wondering how I could open a group nomination over a list of them instead of AfDing problem articles as I come across them. -- MoonyTheDwarf (Braden N.) ( talk) 14:18, 4 December 2019 (UTC)
An article with a fair or better chance of standing on its own merits should not be bundled— nominate it separately. For the avoidance of doubt, bundling should not be used to form consensus around policy decisions such as "should Wikipedia include this type of article". Bundling AfDs should be used only for clear-cut deletion discussions based on existing policy. If you're unsure, don't bundle it.It might well be that some festivals have sources that would tend to demonstrate notability, and others do not.
I am not a perfect judge", well, no one is perfect, but when we give yourself time to do the necessary WP:BEFORE you make a decision to the best of your judgement. Rushing things and doing mass deletions like this will inevitably lead to multiple notable articles getting deleted for lack of due consideration. I appreciate that you acknowledge my concern are willing to do a thorough re-check, of your nominations. Once you get time for editing, please do it, before you do anything else on Wikipedia. regard-- DBig Xrayᗙ 15:22, 5 December 2019 (UTC)s.

Someone posted information about Crowdfunding a cause for TSLAQ. IE they are asking for money for their group. Isn't this against Wikipedia's mission?
TSLAQ post seems to have been created by an anonymous person and they added the following:
Crowdfunding Using GoFundMe, TSLAQ members led by former Seeking Alpha writer and Tesla short seller Lawrence Fossi ran a campaign for and contributed to the defense fund of fellow member, Randeep Hothi, who was initially sued by Tesla, accruing in excess of one-hundred thousand USD. Mr. Hothi allegedly chased a car full of Tesla employees and attempted to cause an accident by driving erratically to confuse the car's Autopilot system, among other things. The request for a temporary restraining order against Hothi was eventually dropped by Tesla.[7]
They are basically telling people where to go to contribute to their cause on wikipedia. Then they had their post put under "protection."

Hi all, I wonder if someone could please advise me (or point the way to where to ask) on the copyright status of Early Science in Oxford Vol III (1st pub. 1925, facsimile reprinted 1968) by Robert Gunther, who died in 1940. As the bibliographical details on Archive.org mention, there doesn't seem to be a copyright notice - but that's probably not the whole story. Cheers, MinorProphet ( talk) 20:25, 4 December 2019 (UTC)
relatively lengthy paragraphsshould be used in a Wikipedia article. Wikipedia:Quotations#Overuse says:
Long quotations crowd the actual article and remove attention from other information. Many direct quotations can be minimized in length by providing an appropriate context in the surrounding text. A summary or paraphrase of a quotation is often better where the original wording could be improved.and later
Quotes shouldn't replace plain, concise text. Intersperse quotations with original prose that comments on those quotations instead of constructing articles out of quotations with little or no original prose.I haven't reviewed your draft, and obviously what is appropriate depends on the specific context. But please be aware that copyright is not the only issue here. DES (talk) DESiegel Contribs 14:51, 5 December 2019 (UTC)

I am contacting you to verify that the information you already have on Frederick Stephen Fuller is in fact 100% accurate. I have also been written Up in the RING Magazine and if f you send me a regular email address that can accept pictures, I can also send you more articles or more pictures to validate this if needed.
