Ref numbers 13 and 14 are exactly the same - shouldn't they be arranged differently in the references section? I cannot do this. Thanks in advance 115.70.23.77 ( talk) 00:37, 29 July 2021 (UTC)
Hello,
My name is Alex, and I am llghtchlld's assistant, and also the person who created the page for llghtchlld. (I hope I'm posting in the correct place for the help desk this time!)
I was wondering if it was possible to change the main title of llghtchlld's Wikipedia page to the correct spelling. (with the i's as l's) This spelling of the i's replaced with l's is not a stylization, it is the actual spelling of llghtchlld's name, and it is the way that her name is spelled throughout her online presence. The purpose of this was to be distinct from other artists with the name "Lightchild".
I know that Wikipedia has very strict policies when it comes to spelling and formatting, but please let me know if it is possible to make this spelling correction, and avoid confusion surrounding her name online.
Warmly,

Some time ago, I was offered the opportunity to get a Wikipedia page. May I be considered once again for that offer

I have been trying to make a wiki page regarding a game dev "Tanner Rozankovic" my submission was declined 2x then rejected permanently, for not being notable enough but recently Tanner Rozankovic has been back in the spotlight of the media and press, now making him worthy of a wiki page. Can I get my draft unrejected or do I need to make a new one? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Joshua Gooden ( talk • contribs) — Joshua Gooden ( talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

Is it possible to remove an article, that was created by me, but accidently wasn't since it was created by someone else. What happened is when I've added the tags unsourced and orphan to the article Warriors of Mahabharata, an editor nominated the article for speedy deletion and send the article was nominated for speedy deletion in my talk page in this message User talk:MoviesandTelevisionFan#Speedy deletion nomination of Warriors of ahabharata. What I saw in the article, it said it was created by me, when I've added the tags. It happened when I've added the tags and a editor moved the article to draft, at the same time [1], could be seen in this log. Then, a system flagged me that I recreated the article. But the article was originally created by "Hitwitsit. MoviesandTelevisionFan ( talk) 19:31, 29 July 2021 (UTC)
Dear Wikipedia, I am not good with computers/Internet. I’m at Wikipedia article NNS Thunder (F90) - Wikipedia. It’s the Wikipedia USCGC Chase page/article. (For clarity, the US Coast Guard Cutter Chase was transferred to the Nigerian Navy in 2011 as the “NNS Thunder” and that’s the name of the ship that comes up when you go to the USCGC Chase Wikipedia article.) I was a crewmember in the 1970s. On this Wikipedia page/article, in the ship’s “history” section for the 1970’s, there is an omission/discrepancy from the official US Coast Guard USCGC Chase history from which it seems most of the Wikipedia article is taken from.
The existing Wikipedia paragraph of concern is the 4th paragraph down from the heading that reads “Vietnam and the 1970s” which reads; “Between 1974 and 1978, Chase continued to patrol the waters of the Atlantic. Chase visited Spain, Morocco, Ireland, and France.”
But, on the official Coast Guard website ship’s history page, under the heading “Cutter History”…4th paragraph down), i.e. Chase, 1968 (WHEC 718) > United States Coast Guard > All (uscg.mil)……..http:www.history.uscg.mil/Browse-by-Topic/Assets/Water/All/Article/2090238/chase-1968-whec-718/. That equivalent US Coast Guard 4th paragraph reads:
In 1973, Chase also participated in Operation Seaconex, an exercise with a screen of seven destroyers and an amphibious assault ship, helicopter (LPH) carrying anti-submarine warfare (ASW) helicopters and Harrier vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) jets protecting a convoy from air, subservice and surface threats. Between the years of 1974 to 1978, Chase continued to patrol Atlantic and Mediterranean waters. In 1976, while on a cadet cruise, Chase was ordered to join operation Fluid Drive and, along with the attack carrier America and landing ship dock Spiegel Grove, evacuated American nationals from the beach after the assassination of two U.S. officials in Beirut, Lebanon. In 1977 Chase was among the cutters assigned to protect a part of the U.S. exclusive economic zone (EEZ) created as a result of passage of the Magnuson-Stevens Fisheries Conservation and Management Act, protecting the area from Cape May, New Jersey to Cape Hatteras, North Carolina from foreign encroachment.' The above is the exact excerpt copied and pasted from the official US Coast Guard source: Chase, 1968 (WHEC 718) > United States Coast Guard > All (uscg.mil).
So, an accurate Wikipedia edit of record in conjunction with the official C.G. Chase website page, http:www.history.uscg.mil/Browse-by-Topic/Assets/Water/All/Article/2090238/chase-1968-whec-718/....would read: Between the years of 1974 to 1978, Chase continued to patrol the waters of the Atlantic, Caribbean and Mediterranean. Chase visited Guantanamo Cuba, Spain, Morocco, Ireland, France, England and Italy. In 1976, while on a cadet cruise, Chase rendezvoused with and came under the command of the attack carrier USS America and was involved in Operation Fluid Drive during The Lebanon Crisis of 1976 which ultimately resulted in the evacuation of nationals from the beach after the assassination of two U.S. officials in Beirut, Lebanon by the landing ship dock Spiegel Grove In 1977 Chase was among the cutters assigned to protect a part of the U.S. exclusive economic zone (EEZ) created as a result of passage of the Magnuson-Stevens Fisheries Conservation and Management Act, protecting the area from Cape May, New Jersey to Cape Hatteras, North Carolina from foreign encroachment. Can you edit this?....and also the companion USCGC Chase Wikipedia https://military.wikia.org/wiki/USCGC_Chase_(WHEC-718) article on the “Military’ page @ USCGC Chase (WHEC-718) | Military Wiki | Fandom (wikia.org) ?
