Hi,
We have a Wikipedia entry we would like to update on behalf of our client. In doing this, it has raised some questions regarding licensing of images etc. For client owned logos and product photographs, as their marketing agency, are we allowed to upload them as 'our own work'? Or do we need to select 'This is someone else's work' and go through there. As mentioned, the imagery includes trademarked logos and product photographs that include the same trademarked logos. 2.218.110.111 ( talk) 09:25, 19 July 2024 (UTC)

I've recently been working to reduce the edit requests backlog but I've run into a bit of a dilemma; as evidenced by the bottom section of this category page, there are at least a few talk page edit requests that have gone unanswered and automatically archived. What is the protocol or recommended course of action for dealing with these requests? Left guide ( talk) 01:10, 19 July 2024 (UTC)

"Unless you are requesting confirmation for a legitimate alternate account your request will almost certainly be denied."You are about one hundred edits away from being extended confirmed.

Hi, I want to check the content on the page Kehloori Folk Dance, Himachal Pradesh, but it is giving me an error Google Error: HTTP Error 429: Too Many Requests. When I don't use search engine, it doesn't really verify the copyrights.
I have tried using the tool Earwig's Copyvio Detector before and it works well if I already have a URL to match the Wiki content with. How to check for copyright on the mentioned page?
I am new to copyright checks. A guide source link would also be helpful. TIA. Waonderer ( talk) 16:09, 19 July 2024 (UTC)
Hello, I am new to contributing and I had a hard time finding resources for this problem that I encountered.
So on a lot of talk sections, there are speculations or discussions on things that are out of date. Is it okay to delete these?
For example, on the talk page for association soccer player Fabinho, there are like 4 topics discussing his transfer from AS Monaco to Liverpool FC. The transfer saga happened in 2018 and since then, Fabinho isn't even at Liverpool anymore.
Would it be apporpriate to delete these, and furthermore, what is the procedure if I come across something similar in the future? HYTEN CREW ( talk) 14:43, 19 July 2024 (UTC)
I setup a auto-archive with the subt from lowercase sigmabot, but it does not appear to be working. Can someone please check my work to see why it would not automatically archive some of the threads already present on the article and then continue to automatically archive more going forward? 103.240.101.5 ( talk) 04:28, 19 July 2024 (UTC)
Hi, Balochistan is the largest province of Pakistan but doesn't have a WP. All the pages under Balochistan tag are redirected to WP Pakistan. There is something that exists but it shows inactive: Wikipedia:WikiProject Balochistan, Pakistan
Can someone please help me on how to activate this? It is high importance for Pakistan: Wikipedia:WikiProject Pakistan as it covers the largest region. Tribal Explorer ( talk) 11:46, 19 July 2024 (UTC)
So I had made a sandbox(idk if you guys can see it but i think so) im just asking is signatures required for articles, and how many paragraphs should a article be? and if my sandbox article is ok /info/en/?search=User:GalacticPediaNerd/sandbox or if i need to add anything GalacticPediaNerd ( talk) 19:48, 19 July 2024 (UTC)
My client is paying a 3rd party to write his Wikipedia page. As we are nearing the end of the process, they are requesting that we send them $2000 for a "semi protection lock", which assures us that in general it will not be possible to edit our page due to the semi-protected status.
I have searched the web and Wikipedia, and I could not come up with the same information. We don't want to make a mistake. How important is it for us to get the lock, and is it something we can do later?
Thank you. Grn1029 ( talk) 19:16, 19 July 2024 (UTC)
I have a quick question on copyright permission. I contacted a user on reddit about the use of an image that they published on the site. They stated that they are the owner of the image, and stated that they give permission for the image's use on Wikipedia. How should I add this? Thanks, Lord serious pig 21:52, 19 July 2024 (UTC)
How important is it to list each individual author of a journal article using last1=, first1=, last2=, first2=, ...lastn=, firstn= versus using author= and listing everyone at once? When n is large it gets tedious. Also, is it preferable to spell out first names or are initials OK? I ask because some people when they format a journal article reference either don't use a citation template or if they do lump everyone in author= and/or only use first initials. If Wikipedia uses names in citation templates as meta data it probably makes sense to list every author individually and spell out first names. Thoughts on this appreciated.

Hi, I'm having some technical issues with the Rick Waters page that I haven't encountered with similar pages created earlier. The entire content was unexpectedly bolded after publishing, and I can't undo this formatting. I'm also unable to edit any existing text while attempting to revise and expand. Does anyone have troubleshooting suggestions? Thanks! W9793 ( talk) 02:36, 20 July 2024 (UTC)
