I have been going in circles trying to publish my draft ‘Facial Infiltrating Lipomatosis’ for publication. Could someone please help a poor noob? — Preceding unsigned comment added by WonderFILsmiles ( talk • contribs) 07:52, 11 January 2020 (UTC)
Hi, I was wondering why the 'INFOBOX' in English and Mandarin is the same but this is not the case for the Irish Language? I ask this question because I often translate articles from the English Wikipedia to Irish and notice that the 'Infobox' does not work for the Irish language version. An example would be the 'International Women's Day' (See: International Women's Day) Whilst the text of the article in English translates into Irish Gaelic the Text Box does not?

I’m an aspiring actor/vocalist and I’m wanting to create a page or article for myself. I’d keep it updated as new things in my life occurred. How do I do that? — Preceding unsigned comment added by CriscoZills ( talk • contribs) 15:49, 11 January 2020 (UTC)
I edited an article about Uzbekistan a few days ago which stated that Uzbek is written only in Latin letters, whereas in reality, although Latin is the "official" script as deemed by the government, about 70% of printed Media is printed in Cyrillic and the Cyrillic alphabet is used at least as often, if not more often, than the Latin version. Thus, I changed the statement to "Uzbek is a language written in Cyrillic or Latin script". It was deemed as not "constructive". How can I challenge this decision? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A01:CB00:CC5:3600:749C:469:4CD4:30B4 ( talk) 17:01, 11 January 2020 (UTC)
I have just completed and submitted my first Wikipedia article. I can link to it via the my contributions tab. I think that I have submitted it for review, but I am not absolutely certain. Is there a way that I can easily confirm that I have indeed submitted it for review? Very many thanks! Ulrich131 ( talk) 17:40, 11 January 2020 (UTC)

18:00, 11 January 2020 (UTC)So I'm mostly a lurker. Long-time wikipedia lurker. There's a lot of fuss around Paul Krugman recently in the media, wanted to see wikipedia to know what's going on.
I see no new information, I'm checking article
history. Multiple edits undone and also deleted! I can't even see what these edit had in them, so allegdly controversial, they were immediately removed from history.
I never seen a deleted revision before, yet alone so many deleted revisions! I remember Wikipedia always stayed transparent about their admins' decisions.
Whom can I contact and ask to review the deletion of these revisions?

Apologies in advance f this is a VPTQ, I'm generally uncertain as to the difference :)
See here, a new template I was thinking of, but it says there is a Template loop, and I do not know a) what that is, and b) how to avoid it. Any advice? TYVMIA —— SN 54129 19:25, 11 January 2020 (UTC)

Hello Mr/Ms Helpdesk.Yesterday an acquiantance I bumped into mentioned that they are looking to get involved in Wikipedia editing and have created a draft article. Their account is not Autoconfirmed, so it is currently waiting in the queue for review. I've looked up the draft and IMHO it is of good quality.
Just checking whether there is any conflict of interest if I publish the article? They have not asked me to do this. I would be doing it simply because IMHO the article is worthy on its own merits. Cheers, 1292simon ( talk) 22:49, 11 January 2020 (UTC)
