Hi, can someone assist me by putting my biography on Wikipedia or send me a template for writing my biography? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Proflawal ( talk • contribs) 09:53, 13 August 2020 (UTC)
An External Link in "Bayeux war cemetery" was broken. I tried to fix it - didn't work. I have noted my failure in the Talk, but I think I've even mucked that up by using === as a separator. Where are the tutorials? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 1.136.105.222 ( talk) 11:45, 13 August 2020 (UTC)
There is this organization I am working for and they have changed their name recently. They have a page on Wikipedia, I have updated the description but Wikipedia doesn't allow me to change the title of the article? How can I change the Title? Also, Can the URL be amended? if yes, how can I do it? I want to remove the previous name from the URL and add the new one. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 39.48.6.184 ( talk) 14:06, 13 August 2020 (UTC)
I am disappointed in wikipedia because it always shows a lack of integrity when any source does not include "critics."
To be considered accurate and objective, the source must include both pros and cons of any person or thing. Your support of Kamala Harris is not only disturbing, but I shall cut my funding of wikipedia immediately. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.176.123.236 ( talk) 14:37, 13 August 2020 (UTC)

Hi! I'm interested in creating a new wikipedia article. From what I've gathered, the way to create a new page is to search for the topic, find the red link, and go from there. The issue I have is that the name of what I want to write about is already in use by a different meaning of the same word. (I'm wanting to create a page about my artist name, Fluorescence, but there is already an entry about Fluorescence, but the kind used in geology) Every tutorial I have found doesn't go over this and I was wondering what I need to do to get around this predicament. — Preceding unsigned comment added by FluorescenceMusic ( talk • contribs) 18:31, 13 August 2020 (UTC)
I was creating a draft in my sandbox about the artist Mari Katayama for Wikipedia:WikiProject Women in Red, a page which was previously deleted due to lack of information. I think I have found enough information to start a new article or draft, but the current page at Draft:Mari Katayama contains another user's draft that seems to have been abandoned about a year ago. How should I go about adding/merging the content I wrote to the draftspace? —Preceding undated comment added 18:43, 13 August 2020 (UTC)
Okay, however, I already created a draft in my userspace and I can't move it into draftspace because that page already exists. I don't want to add it directly into article space because I think it could still use review from other users, but I also don't just want to copy and paste into the existing draft page. Sorry for not explaining better. What should I do? Emflazie ( talk) 20:21, 13 August 2020 (UTC)
I take a fair number of photos for Wikipedia and from time to time I find myself having to explain the logic for images that qualify for the article page image. Rather than repeating myself on talk pages, I’m wondering if I could create a user space essay and link to it with something like WP:PAGEIMAGE. Is there an approval process for getting a WP:-style short link to go to a user space essay? - Scarpy ( talk) 21:08, 13 August 2020 (UTC)

. To address your question, I don't know if there is a process for approval of a WP: shortcut. Perhaps

AlanM1 (

(Edit: Forgot to include link to search results at first. Sorry about that.)-- Thylacine24 ( talk) 23:23, 13 August 2020 (UTC)
