I'm a new editor, and I am actually really excited to get started.
I noticed Wikipedia has a page for the escalation of the conflict in Iran, "2019–20 Persian Gulf crisis". One fascinating component of this crisis was the domestic reaction to Trump's statements in the US. A professor at Babson college was fired for making a satirical post suggesting that the Supreme Leader of Iran target 52 U.S. cultural sites.
Where would I upload this information to Wikipedia though? The actual page for the "2019–20 Persian Gulf crisis" seems primarily concerned with geopolitical actors and not the domestic politics of the US, so I am not sure that it would be a fitting page for this discussion. I don't want to appear "US centric." Can anyone provide with some guidance about editorial best practices? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Caratacus54AD ( talk • contribs) 01:16, 31 January 2020 (UTC)

Hi Wikipedia help desk,
I'm looking for help editing an article headline to make a distinction between this person and someone else. Whilst I can edit the rest of the article, I don't seem to be able to make this small change. Are you able to help please?

How can I add two images in an infobox? HovhannesKarapetyan ( talk) 12:13, 31 January 2020 (UTC)
Hi,
«This article is about the aircraft takeoff and landing area. For other uses, see Runway (disambiguation). "Landing strip" and "RWY" redirect here. For the pubic hairstyle, see Bikini waxing. For other uses, see Roll way.»
Could you check the content of this, please? It's really disturbing, repulsive and not OK. Kids see this and think it's fine because it's on the internet. Trying to get a laugh out of this, embarassing and humiliating a girl or a boy's body, or trying to get others to do the same/by challenging to expose themselves or others, or to humiliate them or worse labelling it as a kind of sexual empowerment is repulsive. It's not OK at all. Could you please revise the content of the page?
Thanks. Regards. — Preceding unsigned comment added by ACxcv ( talk • contribs) 12:27, 31 January 2020 (UTC)

Hi!
I work for Brookfield Properties and we used to own the shopping center Oak View Mall. It was sold and we are not longer the owners, but it still says it on the page. I know that I'm not allowed to go in and make edits myself since I'm personally involved, but I want to address the incorrect information.
Is there a way we could get the content updated to show that CBRE is now the owner? Here's the information on their corporate site: http://retailproperties.cbre.us/cre/retail-real-estate-listings/omaha/nebraska/oakviewmall/overview/#highlights

I made an to a post on a new user's Talk page which was placed there as retribution for a good faith edit. The strikethrough is affecting all subsequent posts, making them also struck through although I removed the strikethrough markup Is my only option to undo the initial strikethrough, or can it be fixed a different way?-- Quisqualis ( talk) 23:39, 31 January 2020 (UTC)
