I have found a source that I have institutional access to, but I am not sure whether its data is useable on Wikipedia. It has historic Gallup polling data which could be added to articles such as /info/en/?search=Nationwide_opinion_polling_for_the_1968_United_States_presidential_election, but its terms of use seem to prohibit the publishing of data, and I am not sure if that would preclude putting results from historic Gallup polls in our articles ( https://ropercenter.cornell.edu/ipoll/study/31087736 Here is an example of a poll from the site). What do other people think about using this source? (If this would fit better at RSN or elsewhere, please feel free to move it. .) Jackattack1597 ( talk) 00:16, 11 April 2023 (UTC)

There is a user on here that has deleted my page. They seem to be only requesting page deletions. What can be done about this? KnowItGirl67 ( talk) 01:35, 11 April 2023 (UTC)
Hi, I'd like to get a quick list of all the contributions I've made in a given category, so that I or someone else can audit them in manageable chunks. For example, philosophy, religion, or politics .. each with its subcategories.
Is there any way to do that here: https://xtools.wmflabs.org/topedits/en.wikipedia.org/Jaredscribe/0 Jaredscribe ( talk) 05:56, 11 April 2023 (UTC)
Hi, I have a bunch of User subpages with study notes and essays. Is there a quick way to download them all at once, with my User and Talk page, other than as HTML? I'd rather get them as wikimarkup without having to manually copy paste. Thanks, Jaredscribe ( talk) 05:59, 11 April 2023 (UTC)

I'm trying to post an article about our organization and it's showing error. Cprdbd ( talk) 06:26, 11 April 2023 (UTC)
The order of the monuments is not well understood and, so as not to risk making a mistake, I don't intend to change the order of the monuments (for information: I left the order unchanged; I only corrected the wikilinks and explained the order better, but it is the same order: Amman.

I am wanting to publish my Draft: Adam Sandoval and I've had problems with publishing it, can someone look over my draft and advise me on what i need to change to make it publishable? Jamesnewton.indycollab ( talk) 15:19, 11 April 2023 (UTC)
Hello, I tried making changes two weeks ago to a page that displays inaccurate information and all edits were reverted within a matter of ten minutes. Changes made were to update/adjust details and outdated information, including an outdated mission statement for a nonprofit organization called Rise Against Hunger. Revisions were labeled as promotional, but edits were provided to update inaccurate information listed.
Can someone point me in the right direction to get changes/made updated. If that's possible? Thank you! AWhitmyer ( talk) 16:41, 11 April 2023 (UTC)
Hi there,
I have a question about trying to create a new article from an existing one. Basically, I was thinking of creating a new article for the Mike Ilitch School of Business at Wayne State University, but when I try to create the article, it always shows it's already linked to the broader university article. Is there a way I can fix this and have an article that is separated from the university page? Please let me know. Thanks in advance. Losipov ( talk) 17:27, 11 April 2023 (UTC)

Can someone please put the monuments of these two cities in order? Oslo and Amman; I don't know these places well enough. JackkBrown ( talk) 20:53, 11 April 2023 (UTC)
Captions cannot be changed on this page: 1st century. The dots at the end of almost all captions (except one, which is correct) must be removed, because these captions do not represent complete sentences, according to the MOS:CAPTIONS rule. JackkBrown ( talk) 23:11, 11 April 2023 (UTC)
must be removed, you are displaying a worrisome dogmatism. The Manual of Style is a guideline, not a mandatory policy, and it says at the very beginning,
It is a generally accepted standard that editors should attempt to follow, though it is best treated with common sense, and occasional exceptions may apply.Note that there is no "must" or "mandatory" or "required" language in that guideline. Working to gradually bring articles into better compliance with the Manual of Style is a good thing. Adopting an attitude that this period "must be removed" about something as trivial as an extra period in a caption is unwise, and I encourage you to rethink your approach.

Wikipedia actually has few strict rules, but rather is founded on five fundamental principles. Wikipedia's policies and guidelines are developed by the community to clarify these principles and describe the best way to apply them, resolve conflicts, and otherwise further our goal of creating a free and reliable encyclopedia.TSventon ( talk) 14:59, 12 April 2023 (UTC)
Hey, somewhat experienced editor here. I found an article, Email storm, that has a lot of examples on it. Way too many. The policy on list size doesn't say how long lists on articles should be (unless I'm just stupid), so I don't know what examples I should keep and what to remove. I removed every example without a secondary source attached, but there's still a lot. Any help? RteeeeKed 💬 📖 23:33, 11 April 2023 (UTC)
