Hi, having read the info on the above page I can't agree with some of it, Thornhill goes back a lot further than 1717 for a start and New Dalgarnock was situated up at Townhead Street which is known as the Auld Toon, not on the A76. All this information and more is in the book, Thornhill and it's worthies, by Joseph Laing Waugh, [1913]. How do I go about editing the page to correct the misinformation?

OK, I recently saw a list of names in the article for Redding, California, and it was set up in a format I could not understand why it appeared as it did, especially why the second line looks darkened. I pasted the list below, and am just wondering what makes it look so. Thanks for the help. "

Why is there so much rudeness? Aren't we all here for the sharing and gathering of knowledge? I expected more professional and polite attitudes from the most well-known encyclopedia on the internet. -- Vigilante Girl ( talk) 23:29, 16 September 2019 (UTC)
I you have experienced "so many" rude people here, I am very sorry. I've been around since 2008, logged in, and as an IP even before that. I cannot fairly say thet I think there are "so many" rude people. But there are indeed some. Nobody is supposed to get away with it. The ones who do are well-connected with others of the same ilk who will defend them no matter what they do. Consensus rules with no regard to justice, i.e. if a majority of such people hate you for some reason, you're in big trouble. Some even swoop in from other language projects, just to argue some pet peeve of theirs, in groups akin to packs of wolves. Others who get away with being rude are such sarcastically skilfull and hard-to-handle bullies that hardly anyone has the energy or guts to stand up to them. There are very few rude people here, in my opinion. The ones there are should always be reported when evidence of rudeness is crystal clear. More of them should get blocked than traditionally are. We all deserve an inspiring working envoronment. Best wishes, --

A traveler came upon an old farmer hoeing in his field beside the road. Eager to rest his feet, the wanderer hailed the countryman, who seemed happy enough to straighten his back and talk for a moment.
“What sort of people live in the next town?” asked the stranger.
“What were the people like where you’ve come from?” replied the farmer, answering the question with another question.
“They were a bad lot. Troublemakers all, and lazy too. The most selfish people in the world, and not a one of them to be trusted. I’m happy to be leaving the scoundrels.”
“Is that so?” replied the old farmer. “Well, I’m afraid that you’ll find the same sort in the next town.
Disappointed, the traveler trudged on his way, and the farmer returned to his work.
Some time later another stranger, coming from the same direction, hailed the farmer, and they stopped to talk. “What sort of people live in the next town?” he asked.
“What were the people like where you’ve come from?” replied the farmer once again.
“They were the best people in the world. Hard working, honest, and friendly. I’m sorry to be leaving them.”
“Fear not,” said the farmer. “You’ll find the same sort in the next town.”
I share your feelings and experiences. I've come to believe that all of the references to "community" in Wikipedia were put there by a handful of optimistic users who have probably long since left or been run off by attackers. I have not had a single pleasant interaction with another contributor over two years and many have actually been hostile. I had silly dreams of collaboration and group learning which have all been replaced with a general fear, similar to a person who won't answer their phone or front door. Every user I have spoken to sternly believes that THEY ARE WIKIPEDIA and I am a homeless man with a sharpie marker and a slice of cardboard. A great recent example: someone dug into challenging something I put some work into. They wrote pages and pages of ranting fussiness about every possible lack and weakness in my article, tags and more tags. They even went on to hassle the five or so people to approved and defended the piece and called all of them idiots. I corrected and improved every detail they mentioned, and they just kept cutting me down. I considered that they probably spent at least 5 hours complaining and never edited one character. Great community. So, I actually asked them directly and honestly: you spent many hours lecturing and soapboxing, why couldn't you take 5 seconds to fix something? What are you contributing here exactly? pages more of angry defensiveness and a big "It's not my responsibility". Sweet. I looked into my friend in hopes of discovering he was a 13 year old in treatment...only to find a top 1,000 editor with awards and history galore. This IS Wikipedia folks. So I read through some of his recent work, and guess what? I found several things which needed correcting right away...even some heavy bias in political matters and living bios. So I took my friends example and I "alerted him to the issues" and tagged the pages (but didn't touch a word). Dude lost his freaking mind and almost made me feel unsafe for a couple days. How dare I? .....and then he fixed the problems, lol.

Sir,
Thank you for your invitation. Just to let you know that on the controversial Telfer mine & Jean-Paul Turcaud 's pages, I have provided to Messrs Gronk Oz & Graham87 a most thorough & comprehensive answer.
In such, I pointed that such Wikipedia articles were biaised by wilfull & successful attempts to delude the Free Encyclopedia & derogatory presentation on a page called: Jean-Paul Turcaud ( my name) which was badly documented and a deliberate character ' assassination indeed. Completely brushing aside the outmost Geology acumen of said Turcaud in bringing the whole Great Sandy Desert to life for the good of 1000s.
I wish a proper review of such documents could take place, both for the sake of fairness and the respect of the Truth.
I gave in my recent mails all due references & noted respectable people in WA to call upon.
Yours sincerely

Greetings, while I have exercised good faith to the best of my abilities, it appears that the Anti-Iranian sentiment ( | talk | history | links | watch | logs) page is under attack. User User talk:UCaetano engaged in Edit-Warring by removing a revision that brought back a controversial and well-documented (across several mediums) fact that DC_Comics 's well known Batman: A Death in the Family story arc involved a plot point where the Joker_(character) gasses the UN Assembly on behalf of Iran, as its ambassador. Various sources have stated that this was done during peak strain between the US and Iran. It led to the creation of the fictional nation-state Qurac as a replacement for Iran in future prints. This fact (undeniable as comic prints of it have been scanned, DC staff interviewed, etc) was in earlier versions of "Anti-Iranian Sentiment". User AntiRacistZwei (who brought this to my attention) had brought back the information and clarified various tid-bits in the article. Soon after, UCaetano began an edit war and accused AntiRacistZwei of "Weasel talk" (eventhough the given sources were already a part of the article), and after several edits (including my own to fix grammar), accused myself of "Edit-Warring". I initially had chosen to engage peacefully and to de-escalate, explaining my relation to Anti-Racist-Zwei and our aim to clean up/verify the article. The user ignored the message and soon after, undid the entire edit. I once again looked at UCaetano's page to contact them, however, I noticed something alarming on their Talk page and it appears that this individual has vandalized other pages then threatened to report users for "Edit-Warring". [[[User talk:Tim.thelion]] brought this up with UCaetano on May 2018 on their talk page, which resulted in UCaetano claiming that UCaetano had reported Tim and that Tim the Lion should avoid "edit warring", eventhough UCaetano was being questioned by Tim on possibly-hostile Re-visionary behavior (IE, Vandalism). Having said that, it is alarming that this user would edit a page that is centered around discrimination against an entire Population. I am unable to install Twinkle as I do not have Java on my computer, however, I have done my best to place a protection request on the page. Please assist me if possible on finding a way to seek protection for the page, if I have not done an adequate job (or let me know of a proper method outside of Twinkle). Thank you for your time, in advance. Rodianreader ( talk) 02:27, 24 September 2019 (UTC)
Cullen, as mentioned, I clearly stated that I avoid personal biases, though I have experienced the very dangers of misinforming a population about an ethnic group. My complaint is that UCaetano erased entire segments of the article including clarifications and grammatical fixes. When asked why, he escalated. Lastly, I've done my best to verify and re-check sources on the article. Would you please visit the page and verify my claims? Surely, you will notice why I'm concerned and/or alarmed.

Liance pointed out that my submission was rejected because it was not written in an encyclopedic tone. Specially, the statement"best known for his sharp wit and sense of humor" is problematic. This statement is a synthesis of newspaper articles about him and is well documented.
Without that characteristic (sharp wit and sense of humor)included, the article would not be an accurate portrayal of Dodge. Do you have any, suggestions?

In Template:Suman Pokhrel, the "songs" section(?) has audio clips of songs written by Suman Pokhrel. I guess Suman Pokhrel wrote the words, but does he have the right to give us perm to a final product of which his words are just an ingredient (without showing proof that he also holds the rights to the final product)? Or if he does, did anyone from Wikimedia actually verify that it was indeed him, before accepting the files? The second part of my question also applies to these, also linked from the template.

What should I do here! I've made some edits involving grammar fixes. What's next?-- Maybequad404 ( talk) 21:35, 25 September 2019 (UTC)
I want to say that with many, many editors contributing to Wikipedia, it seems we have got all the information we know of - until somebody finds a new piece of verifiable information and adds it to Wikipedia. It always seems as though we have got all of the information we have on a particular subject, until a new editor adds information to the article. Also, with who-knows-how-many articles in Wikipedia, it's hard to know where to start. So, where do I start?
Also, thank you in advance. -- Plankhouse0 ( talk) 23:59, 25 September 2019 (UTC)

Thanks Nick Moyes, I would be looking at creating and article based on the Creative professionals category of people with notability. In particular under the categories noted: 1. The person has created or played a major role in co-creating a significant or well-known work or collective body of work. In addition, such work must have been the primary subject of an independent and notable work (for example, a book, film, or television series, but usually not a single episode of a television series) or of multiple independent periodical articles or reviews. 2. The person's work (or works) has: (a) become a significant monument, (b) been a substantial part of a significant exhibition, (c) won significant critical attention, or (d) been represented within the permanent collections of several notable galleries or museums
I have published several books on architecture and the practice (Terroir) architects that I founded with my partner has designed a number of significant buildings. I also teach and a notable Australian university, as well as conducted major speaking events.
I was recently told that I should have a Wikipedia page detailing these contributions to the architectural profession. After trying to create my own page I was told that I should have an external editor review the content, after seeing the tea house welcome message, I thought I would try here for assistance.
I look forward to your response Gerard Reinmuth ( talk) —Preceding undated comment added 10:15, 23 September 2019 (UTC)

Greetings, while I have exercised good faith to the best of my abilities, it appears that the Anti-Iranian sentiment ( | talk | history | links | watch | logs) page is under attack. User User talk:UCaetano engaged in Edit-Warring by removing a revision that brought back a controversial and well-documented (across several mediums) fact that DC_Comics 's well known Batman: A Death in the Family story arc involved a plot point where the Joker_(character) gasses the UN Assembly on behalf of Iran, as its ambassador. Various sources have stated that this was done during peak strain between the US and Iran. It led to the creation of the fictional nation-state Qurac as a replacement for Iran in future prints. This fact (undeniable as comic prints of it have been scanned, DC staff interviewed, etc) was in earlier versions of "Anti-Iranian Sentiment". User AntiRacistZwei (who brought this to my attention) had brought back the information and clarified various tid-bits in the article. Soon after, UCaetano began an edit war and accused AntiRacistZwei of "Weasel talk" (eventhough the given sources were already a part of the article), and after several edits (including my own to fix grammar), accused myself of "Edit-Warring". I initially had chosen to engage peacefully and to de-escalate, explaining my relation to Anti-Racist-Zwei and our aim to clean up/verify the article. The user ignored the message and soon after, undid the entire edit. I once again looked at UCaetano's page to contact them, however, I noticed something alarming on their Talk page and it appears that this individual has vandalized other pages then threatened to report users for "Edit-Warring". [[[User talk:Tim.thelion]] brought this up with UCaetano on May 2018 on their talk page, which resulted in UCaetano claiming that UCaetano had reported Tim and that Tim the Lion should avoid "edit warring", eventhough UCaetano was being questioned by Tim on possibly-hostile Re-visionary behavior (IE, Vandalism). Having said that, it is alarming that this user would edit a page that is centered around discrimination against an entire Population. I am unable to install Twinkle as I do not have Java on my computer, however, I have done my best to place a protection request on the page. Please assist me if possible on finding a way to seek protection for the page, if I have not done an adequate job (or let me know of a proper method outside of Twinkle). Thank you for your time, in advance. Rodianreader ( talk) 02:27, 24 September 2019 (UTC)
Cullen, as mentioned, I clearly stated that I avoid personal biases, though I have experienced the very dangers of misinforming a population about an ethnic group. My complaint is that UCaetano erased entire segments of the article including clarifications and grammatical fixes. When asked why, he escalated. Lastly, I've done my best to verify and re-check sources on the article. Would you please visit the page and verify my claims? Surely, you will notice why I'm concerned and/or alarmed. Thanks Rodianreader ( talk) 03:41, 24 September 2019 (UTC)

I'm wondering how you edit the spelling in the title. Article is about a person and the first name has letters inverted. "Ronald" should be "Roland". This can confuse anyone looking for this individual. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dmdk1955 ( talk • contribs) 12:37, 25 September 2019 (UTC)

Liance pointed out that my submission was rejected because it was not written in an encyclopedic tone. Specially, the statement"best known for his sharp wit and sense of humor" is problematic. This statement is a synthesis of newspaper articles about him and is well documented.
Without that characteristic (sharp wit and sense of humor)included, the article would not be an accurate portrayal of Dodge. Do you have any, suggestions?

I created main article but now I want to know how to add sub articles under that like “personal life” and “ Filmography”?
how can someone put their full information on Wikipedia including since they were born up to date. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 197.234.246.230 ( talk) 14:29, 25 September 2019 (UTC)
In Template:Suman Pokhrel, the "songs" section(?) has audio clips of songs written by Suman Pokhrel. I guess Suman Pokhrel wrote the words, but does he have the right to give us perm to a final product of which his words are just an ingredient (without showing proof that he also holds the rights to the final product)? Or if he does, did anyone from Wikimedia actually verify that it was indeed him, before accepting the files? The second part of my question also applies to these, also linked from the template.

Hi how I can upload a pic to wiki for a game article? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Edward Rookie ( talk • contribs) 15:19, 25 September 2019 (UTC)
The page was created by me and was reviewed 24 September 2019 by @DBigXray, who enjoyed the content. I also linked it to WP:LOVE#See also in the See also section. It more reflects my personal beliefs, and am also wondering what template to use if I must. Thanks, Maccore Henni Mii! Pictochat Mii! 15:34, 25 September 2019 (UTC)
What should I do here! I've made some edits involving grammar fixes. What's next?-- Maybequad404 ( talk) 21:35, 25 September 2019 (UTC)
I want to say that with many, many editors contributing to Wikipedia, it seems we have got all the information we know of - until somebody finds a new piece of verifiable information and adds it to Wikipedia. It always seems as though we have got all of the information we have on a particular subject, until a new editor adds information to the article. Also, with who-knows-how-many articles in Wikipedia, it's hard to know where to start. So, where do I start?
Also, thank you in advance. -- Plankhouse0 ( talk) 23:59, 25 September 2019 (UTC)
There is always something to do here. Hope this helps. -- LPS and MLP Fan ( Littlest Pet Shop) ( My Little Pony) 00:28, 26 September 2019 (UTC)
I am looking to have a page restored, however the administrator has requested that he would only do so, if i had an external editor edit the page. I was hoping someone here would be able to help. The admin wrote:

Thanks Nick Moyes, I would be looking at creating and article based on the Creative professionals category of people with notability. In particular under the categories noted: 1. The person has created or played a major role in co-creating a significant or well-known work or collective body of work. In addition, such work must have been the primary subject of an independent and notable work (for example, a book, film, or television series, but usually not a single episode of a television series) or of multiple independent periodical articles or reviews. 2. The person's work (or works) has: (a) become a significant monument, (b) been a substantial part of a significant exhibition, (c) won significant critical attention, or (d) been represented within the permanent collections of several notable galleries or museums
I have published several books on architecture and the practice (Terroir) architects that I founded with my partner has designed a number of significant buildings. I also teach and a notable Australian university, as well as conducted major speaking events.
I was recently told that I should have a Wikipedia page detailing these contributions to the architectural profession. After trying to create my own page I was told that I should have an external editor review the content, after seeing the tea house welcome message, I thought I would try here for assistance.
I look forward to your response Gerard Reinmuth ( talk) —Preceding undated comment added 10:15, 23 September 2019 (UTC)
Sorry Nick Moyes wasnt sure how much detail to list on this page. I have now followed your advise and list on the Wikipedia:Requested articles/Business and economics/People in business [1] Hopefully someone will find it interesting enough to write about. Thank you for your assistance. Gerard Reinmuth ( talk) 02:30, 26 September 2019 (UTC)
Hello,
I created an updated draft of an article in August for Attention Span Media. It is shorter and does not read as an advertisement. I can not find where that draft is, or if anyone has commented/offered further suggestions. Appreciate any help as I learn my way around and look forward to also helping others as I go.
Thank you,
Hello-Mary-H ( talk) 22:30, 25 September 2019 (UTC)
The draft is not acceptable. Remove references that are to the Attention Span website. Ditto press releases. Remove all the expository content crammed into the references - the ref list is not a place to put content. David notMD ( talk) 02:38, 26 September 2019 (UTC)
