I would like to submit a biographical article about an acquaintance but have not contributed to Wikipedia before and am not sure of the requirements. This lady is living and is 78 years old. She was raised on Mississippi plantations and was elected Miss University of Southern Mississippi in the early 1960s. She was also VP of the Student Government Association at USM. She has been recognized in her hometown newspaper, The Natchez Democrat, a number of times. She cofounded a private K!2 school in Grove Hill, Al, in 1970 and has been recognized for charitable donations to several causes and organizations in the era of 1980 to 2015.
She meets the requirements for publications but her notoriety is specific to Southern Mississippi and Clarke County, Alabama.
Please advise and thank you for your help! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2604:2D80:B315:7C00:789F:683C:7406:DE51 ( talk) 22:43, 29 August 2019 (UTC)

@Timtempleton her name is Virginia Boyd Sojourner Harrigan. Her deceased husband's name is William Dwight Harrigan, II. They are heirs to Harrigan Lumber Co. in Fulton, Al, and Monroe County, Al. They've been cited for many things. As a matter of fact, I could make this page about the Harrigan family and/or her husband Wm Harrigan. Here's info from his obit that shows humanitarian activities and awards he (they) were cited for: William Dwight Harrigan, II Obituary

Hello AlanM1, thank you for your information. But I can not use these sources because I only have sources from Croatia. I have seen other Croatian artists recognize these Croatian sources. Also I have seen that the IMDd was recognized by actors who were criticized by me. I have sources of renowned Croatian media from television, radio and online newspapers. Therefore, I assume that this is so recognized. Moj Galeb ( talk) 06:11, 30 August 2019 (UTC)
Hello, you write that IMDd is not a reliable source. However, I have read from other artists on the EN-Wiki pages that this reference has been acknowledged as a source.

Hello Wikipedia editors!

Please add the phrase "Plain English, a programming language that is a subset of a natural language" in first paragraph of article Natural-language programming: Natural-language programming (NLP) is an ontology-assisted way of programming in terms of natural-language sentences, e.g. English.[1] A structured document with Content, sections and subsections for explanations of sentences forms a NLP document, which is actually a computer program. Natural languages and natural-language user interfaces include Inform7, a natural programming language for making interactive fiction, Ring,[2][3] a general-purpose language, Shakespeare, an esoteric natural programming language in the style of the plays of William Shakespeare, Wolfram Alpha, a computational knowledge engine, using natural-language input.[citation needed] and Plain English, a programming language that is a subset of a natural language. Some methods for program synthesis are based on natural-language programming.[4] I can't link to www.osmosian.com, the Plain English Programming site. The reference of the Plain English Programming is www.osmosian.com. Wikipedia editors, Please add the link to www.osmosian.com, the Plain English Programming site in External links, it is relevant to the article because this article is incomplete, the Plain English is a natural programming language. Plain English programmers are already programming at a human-language level. The main routine in the sample program in our instruction manual, for example, looks like this... To run: Start up. Initialize our stuff. Handle any events. Finalize our stuff. Shut down. ...and those are the kind of sentences that English-speaking humans use when they are speaking to other English-speaking humans. |

Wikipedia editors,
Will you add this editings? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jorge Luis899 ( talk • contribs) 22:12, 30 August 2019 (UTC)
Hello guys. I'm very happy and honored to have been invited in the Teahouse. Thanks for that first.
Secondly, I'd like to continue by stating that there's currently an experienced editor on Wikipedia (let's call him Mister X) whom I think is over using their power by posting threats on other new and often unexperienced contributors' talk page, in these threats, they stipulate that they are vandals and literally THREATENS to block them from editing. I know, I know, but wait, some of you guys at the tea house will say that maybe these contributors have done something wrong but no. In reality all they do is try to add more content on Mister X's favorite artist page who is Ariana Grande. And I truly think that they do that because they think that they are the only one who should edit that page. They also revert EVERY edits for no reasons, even sometimes those edits are correct.
I'm saying this because I've received the same threats on my talk page in the "Ariana Grande" topic. Plus I've seen this editor do the same to at least three other new contributors for no reasons. I've seen the victims defend themselves and Mister X would never answer the question asked to him.
With that being said, what should I do? Please. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Iambacknimbetter ( talk • contribs) 23:11, 30 August 2019 (UTC)
@ William2001: Yes it's then actually I cited reliable source and they reverted by giving plain excuses by saying that " she made sure that she wasn't living in NYC anymore" without citing any links. Secondly, he then called my edit vandalism for no apparent reason labeling it as "bad faith" etc. There was no need to do that. They estimate that I made a mistake, that's okay. But they shouldn't call me a vandal and I think that it's power abuse.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Iambacknimbetter ( talk • contribs)
@ Rosguill: secondly you. I didn't mean to have a harmful behavior. I didn't know you could hear my scream through my screen. then, I think that he does that with every single person who decides to edit the page and call it vandalism with everyone which is why I think it's abuse. After, I'd like to say that I didn't mean to create a dispute here. I was simply here to ask QUESTIONS. Please read the last sentence of my message. I was simply explaining the context and then asking for solutions. I didn't mean to start a war or anything of that kind. Please don't say that.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Iambacknimbetter ( talk • contribs)

Hi, I'm in shock. Until yesterday I've not had anything like this happen - no real clock as to when or why? I have a previous piece here, but can't find it. a piece I had been working to try and fix is now gone and the deletion person is not responding... looks like this person's job is to just go around and delete things even though I believe that I had filed the proper protest and was here trying to get help. But then when I'm in the middle sorting out what was a major 2 part issue, the real world impinged and I had to get help for the older gentleman I take care of that took me away from dealing with this for 3 hours on a friday! As soon as I got back I noticed a new warning deletion message by another person. I immediately did what the warning said and filed a protest in the box offered. I then went to the article and deleted the disputed material as well. A short time ago the entire piece was deleted and the many hours of work that I had put in.
this is the piece that was deleted! Draft:Securities and Exchange Commission v. Electric Bond and Share company
I don't know how to find the teahouse discussion as I'm new at this, but at this point, it would appear that this system is highly unfriendly, or in this case feels alot like making a phone call to AT&T to get a simple fix. Three hours later, some hacker in Russia has taken over, robbed me of my bank account. Apologies, but I've now been trying to sort this out for 2 hours and can't believe that I've wasted an entire week of my time, and entire evening. Energynet ( talk) 08:25, 31 August 2019 (UTC)
thank you for the link. On the issue at hand...
as pointed out over at
Wikipedia:Deletion review/Log/2019 August 31
This is clearly not a copyright issue! Someone labeled it that way while the piece was in draft status and still being worked on! The material had also been deleted and a protest filed after the warning was posted. The individual who then deleted it ignored my protest which was what I meant by not responding to me. - The content in question was a 1938 US supreme court decision and with me getting help on at the Teahouse when it was deleted. please see the above protest on this.
Why shouldn't there be some kind of time warning on this? I acted immediately but the person that deleted it or the system didn't give a time warning other than the word speedy which I had no idea of what this meant. The fact that this happened so fast and that I was also and still am dealing with a medical emergency in the real world which was also ignored just doesn't sound fair! And the fact that the original person that claimed that it was a copyright abuse never came back or responded and then this other guy sees the warning - neither look at the actual content or see that its a federal court decision and bang! I lose all of my work? Yeah, volunteer but what happens when someone loses a week of volunteer work?
The fact that with support that I'm actually going to get some relief on this with the piece returned to me so that I can finish getting it onto the site after such a horrible 10 hours would make any new user never want to be involved again! I truly can't believe how this happened so fast and so late at night! I was up 2 hours beyond bed time in shock and I'm heading towards 68 years old - and have had to suspend everything today so far, in terror that if I don't respond immediately that it will just die in some kind of huge pile of protests etc. Energynet ( talk) 17:57, 31 August 2019 (UTC)
Thank you very much for your support and well written details... something like this should go into every frightened/bewildred person like what happened to me so that I was not up way late in terror that nobody would see what happened etc.

Natural languages and natural-language user interfaces include Inform7, a natural programming language for making interactive fiction, Ring,[2][3] a general-purpose language, Shakespeare, an esoteric natural programming language in the style of the plays of William Shakespeare, Wolfram Alpha, a computational knowledge engine, using natural-language input.[citation needed] and Plain English, a programming language that is a subset of a natural language. Some methods for program synthesis are based on natural-language programming.[4] I can't link to www.osmosian.com, the Plain English Programming site. The reference of the Plain English Programming is www.osmosian.com. Wikipedia editors, Please add the link to www.osmosian.com, the Plain English Programming site in External links, it is relevant to the article because this article is incomplete, the Plain English is a natural programming language. Plain English programmers are already programming at a human-language level. The main routine in the sample program in our instruction manual, for example, looks like this... To run: Start up. Initialize our stuff. Handle any events. Finalize our stuff. Shut down. ...and those are the kind of sentences that English-speaking humans use when they are speaking to other English-speaking humans. |
Again:
Wikipedia editors,
Will you add this editings? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jorge Luis899 ( talk • contribs) 22:12, 30 August 2019 (UTC)
Hello guys. I'm very happy and honored to have been invited in the Teahouse. Thanks for that first.
Secondly, I'd like to continue by stating that there's currently an experienced editor on Wikipedia (let's call him Mister X) whom I think is over using their power by posting threats on other new and often unexperienced contributors' talk page, in these threats, they stipulate that they are vandals and literally THREATENS to block them from editing. I know, I know, but wait, some of you guys at the tea house will say that maybe these contributors have done something wrong but no. In reality all they do is try to add more content on Mister X's favorite artist page who is Ariana Grande. And I truly think that they do that because they think that they are the only one who should edit that page. They also revert EVERY edits for no reasons, even sometimes those edits are correct.
I'm saying this because I've received the same threats on my talk page in the "Ariana Grande" topic. Plus I've seen this editor do the same to at least three other new contributors for no reasons. I've seen the victims defend themselves and Mister X would never answer the question asked to him.
With that being said, what should I do? Please. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Iambacknimbetter ( talk • contribs) 23:11, 30 August 2019 (UTC)
@ William2001: Yes it's then actually I cited reliable source and they reverted by giving plain excuses by saying that " she made sure that she wasn't living in NYC anymore" without citing any links. Secondly, he then called my edit vandalism for no apparent reason labeling it as "bad faith" etc. There was no need to do that. They estimate that I made a mistake, that's okay. But they shouldn't call me a vandal and I think that it's power abuse.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Iambacknimbetter ( talk • contribs)
@ Rosguill: secondly you. I didn't mean to have a harmful behavior. I didn't know you could hear my scream through my screen. then, I think that he does that with every single person who decides to edit the page and call it vandalism with everyone which is why I think it's abuse. After, I'd like to say that I didn't mean to create a dispute here. I was simply here to ask QUESTIONS. Please read the last sentence of my message. I was simply explaining the context and then asking for solutions. I didn't mean to start a war or anything of that kind. Please don't say that.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Iambacknimbetter ( talk • contribs)

@ Rosguill: He does that with literally everyone just give it a deeper look. I can even name a FEW people who have received these messages after having their edits reverted although they cited RELIABLE sources— Preceding unsigned comment added by Iambacknimbetter ( talk • contribs)

I have posted my articles many times, They all Rejected. Why?? They all were according to Wikipedia's policy. I didn't get your rejecting reasons? i have posted my article so many times at first they deleted by saying your article is promotional. then i posted it again with correcting every single thing, then they had an issue with my user name. that use a username according to your region, and any name i write (of my region) they reject it by saying it is already taken.
now tell me please how can I post my article by any username, or suggest me some valid username from your side, and also tell me how can I post my Company's article? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Alberto Sparrow ( talk • contribs) 10:44, 31 August 2019 (UTC)
yes! I did with this account or another. Yes! i have added all the references or external links that required. But now they have issue with my user page that they didn't get it. Or another issue is that "Misuse of Wikipedia as a web host. — Preceding

I first posted this on Wikipedia talk:Sock puppetry, but since nobody replied, I'm trying this space now. I'm User:Alumnum and I created this separate account because, for personal reasons, I'm temporarily unable to access my main one. Can some admin please confirm I'm the same IP as User:Alumnum to avoid any future blocks? Once I obtain access to my main account back, I will abandon this one. - Munmula ( talk) 01:38, 30 August 2019 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Munmula ( talk • contribs) 04:23, 31 August 2019 (UTC)

Hi, I'm in shock. Until yesterday I've not had anything like this happen - no real clock as to when or why? I have a previous piece here, but can't find it. a piece I had been working to try and fix is now gone and the deletion person is not responding... looks like this person's job is to just go around and delete things even though I believe that I had filed the proper protest and was here trying to get help. But then when I'm in the middle sorting out what was a major 2 part issue, the real world impinged and I had to get help for the older gentleman I take care of that took me away from dealing with this for 3 hours on a friday! As soon as I got back I noticed a new warning deletion message by another person. I immediately did what the warning said and filed a protest in the box offered. I then went to the article and deleted the disputed material as well. A short time ago the entire piece was deleted and the many hours of work that I had put in.
this is the piece that was deleted! Draft:Securities and Exchange Commission v. Electric Bond and Share company
I don't know how to find the teahouse discussion as I'm new at this, but at this point, it would appear that this system is highly unfriendly, or in this case feels alot like making a phone call to AT&T to get a simple fix. Three hours later, some hacker in Russia has taken over, robbed me of my bank account. Apologies, but I've now been trying to sort this out for 2 hours and can't believe that I've wasted an entire week of my time, and entire evening. Energynet ( talk) 08:25, 31 August 2019 (UTC)
thank you for the link. On the issue at hand...
as pointed out over at
Wikipedia:Deletion review/Log/2019 August 31
This is clearly not a copyright issue! Someone labeled it that way while the piece was in draft status and still being worked on! The material had also been deleted and a protest filed after the warning was posted. The individual who then deleted it ignored my protest which was what I meant by not responding to me. - The content in question was a 1938 US supreme court decision and with me getting help on at the Teahouse when it was deleted. please see the above protest on this.
Why shouldn't there be some kind of time warning on this? I acted immediately but the person that deleted it or the system didn't give a time warning other than the word speedy which I had no idea of what this meant. The fact that this happened so fast and that I was also and still am dealing with a medical emergency in the real world which was also ignored just doesn't sound fair! And the fact that the original person that claimed that it was a copyright abuse never came back or responded and then this other guy sees the warning - neither look at the actual content or see that its a federal court decision and bang! I lose all of my work? Yeah, volunteer but what happens when someone loses a week of volunteer work?
The fact that with support that I'm actually going to get some relief on this with the piece returned to me so that I can finish getting it onto the site after such a horrible 10 hours would make any new user never want to be involved again! I truly can't believe how this happened so fast and so late at night! I was up 2 hours beyond bed time in shock and I'm heading towards 68 years old - and have had to suspend everything today so far, in terror that if I don't respond immediately that it will just die in some kind of huge pile of protests etc. Energynet ( talk) 17:57, 31 August 2019 (UTC)
Thank you very much for your support and well written details... something like this should go into every frightened/bewildred person like what happened to me so that I was not up way late in terror that nobody would see what happened etc.
