Jackson Galaxy's birth name is currently listed as Richard Kirschner and it lists websites with this information as references. However, this is INCORRECT. His birth name is Richard Kurschner. How can I edit this to be correct when the references currently cited on the site have the incorrect information? Every time I make this edit, it is reverted back to the incorrect information. — Preceding unsigned comment added by CCPR1234 ( talk • contribs) 01:15, 17 January 2020 (UTC)

Would anyone kindly be able to direct me to where I might add the following page ( /info/en/?search=Queen_Elizabeth_Prize_for_EngineeringItalic text) to the Catagory 'Engineering Awards' ( /info/en/?search=Category:Engineering_awardsItalic text) please?

Hello,
I am trying to update the Earth Journalism Network page with which I have a COI. I know that this is strongly frowned upon, but the page is very out of date and in need of editing to elevate it back to Wikipedia's standards. As of now, it has been suggested that I attempt to discuss with other editors engaged in the subject-area in order to move forward. I posted in both WikiProject Journalism and WikiProject Organizations but I haven't been getting any responses. Any advice on the next steps? Perhaps I just need to wait longer for some responses. Thank you in advance. Theintern007 ( talk) 14:36, 17 January 2020 (UTC)
Hi. I'd like to ask if there's any way to report an off-wiki harassment? — Hiwilms ( talk) 16:04, 17 January 2020 (UTC)
I remember there being a way to check your submitted AfD proposals and see how many succeeded and failed. Can someone point me in the right direction? CatcherStorm talk 16:52, 17 January 2020 (UTC)
Which one outputs day of year, and which one outputs day of month? As it's january, it's not actually possible to test this for myself. -- MoonyTheDwarf (Braden N.) ( talk) 19:12, 17 January 2020 (UTC)
{{#time:format|date}}
(see
mw:Help:Extension:ParserFunctions##time) to get day of year, e.g., "{{#time:z|2019-02-07}}"
→ "37" for the zero-based day-of-year. —[

Michael Flynn is not democrat. Wikipedia shows his party affiliation is Democratic. This is obviously not true. This is a common practice. I would like to know who is responsible for this. I already know why. Thanks for your help. -- Tim Aslin — Preceding unsigned comment added by Timothy Aslin ( talk • contribs) 19:50, 17 January 2020 (UTC)
Well, that answers my question. Michael Flynn is responsible for being a registered democrat. Why do you think he wants to be identified that way? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Timothy Aslin ( talk • contribs) 01:04, 18 January 2020 (UTC)
Do I have to go through SPI for every suspected sockpuppet, even those that are extremely obvious? For instance, let's say User:Example is blocked for promotional editing. Then, User:Example2 is created and starts editing in the exact same manner as Example. Do I still need to bring this to SPI? Can I report them to, say, AIV? Thanks in advance, echo off ( on public PC) ( /t) ( /c) 19:52, 17 January 2020 (UTC)
The Boston Municipal Police were Civil Service employees! That is the reason we were able to transfer to the Boston Police. The Muni’s were ABOLISHED and under civil service law we went to the top of every police hire list. Any civil service police department had to offer the Muni a job before offering the job to anyone else. By the way mayor menino hated the Muni’s because when he was running for mayor we backed Jim Brett, obviously in hindsight a very bad move on our part. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 100.17.29.197 ( talk) 22:35, 17 January 2020 (UTC)
