The Lipan Apache Tribe of Texas Wikipedia article has two incorrect categories listed on the page that need to be removed:
1) American People Who self-identify as being of Lipan Apache Descent
2) Unrecognized Tribes in the United States.
The page itself says at the top they are a state recognized tribe. Can someone remove those categories from the page?

I can see that we have {{ citation}} parameters for the translations of titles, chapters and quotations of non-english for instance:
|title=Tōkyō tawā |script-title=ja:東京タワー |trans-title=Tokyo Tower
However I cannot see the equivalent parameter for author names. e.g:
|script-last1=ko:홍 |trans-last1=Hong |script-first1=ko:이섭 |trans-first1=Yi-Seop
Therefore, how are these situations best handled? Is there a MOS?
Example approaches I can think of:
Ideally, I think we should provide both to broaden SEO in both languages... but there doesn't seem to be a "clean" way of doing this? Or is there?

requires incorporating punctuation literals when multiple authors are attributed. You should not be including the names of multiple authors in
|author-maskn=
Each name gets its own mask.|author1-mask=
and |author2-mask=
. Typically, names are separated by a semicolon, which |author-mask=
suppresses. So for example
Prehistory of China#cite note-15 is formatted as |last=Chen |first=Mingyuan |last2=Jin |first2=Minbin| author1-mask = Chen Mingyuan (陳明遠); | author2-mask= Jin Minbin (金岷彬)

An editor removed a "Citation needed" template from Faye Dunaway#1967–1968: Early films and breakthrough with the edit summary "Already indexed right here on Wiki".

A soccer club I follow and frequently contribute to had a temporary name change last season after going bankrupt.

How on earth is this notable? I'm also worried about WP:COI and WP:BOSS here.-- ♦IanMacM♦ (talk to me) 13:21, 14 July 2024 (UTC)
A soccer club I follow and frequently contribute to had a temporary name change last season after going bankrupt. It has acquired the original name again, but I can't switch the page back to that original name because the original article already exists and redirects to the newer one. It gives me an error because the article already exists.
For reference the original article/page it needs to be is "Reggina", the current article is set to "LFA Reggio Calabria" which is no longer the name of the club. Haberdasher ( talk) 13:18, 14 July 2024 (UTC)
I'm working on The God Who Riots and noticed some invisible text indicating why a category was added. I haven't done much with invisible text and based on my reading of WP:HIDDEN and WP:COMMENT these comments seem unnecessary. Would it be inappropriate to remove the hidden comments as clutter? It seems obvious that a category would be a topic covered in the book and if that isn't obvious then it could have been clarified in the edit summary. Is it common practice to add comments explaining why categories have been added? TipsyElephant ( talk) 17:21, 14 July 2024 (UTC)

Hi,
I wanted to ask whether if Publications (books) without ISBN or for who ISBN are not available are reliable or not for citing as a source in a article in Wikipedia ?
Example:-
https://books.google.com.pk/books/about/Defending_Kashmir.html?id=TR7SAAAAIAAJ&redir_esc=y (Snippet only, Google Books)
