/info/en/?search=Wikipedia_talk:Articles_for_creation/Ronald_L._Mondrush We have tried several times to post this story into Wikipedia, and have been repeatedly denied. The reasoning has been mostly a lack of references. We have bumped up the reference list as much as possible. The role that Ron Mondrush and his company played in the automotive industry was pretty significant, although a bit behind the scenes. But a story that should be told and included in car and car design history. At this link is the story in a self made web site, a way for us to show more of a complete look at our story. http://ronaldmondrush.com/ After one of our Wikipedia denials Teahouse came up as a reference and help spot.

I recently made an article and used all online citations to qualify the article. However it was rejected on the premiss of improper use of citations. My intent was to qualify the individual the article was written about via links to reputable websites (Per WikiPedia's guidelines)and did not find any proper citation places in my content.
So my confusion is regarding how to edit this to make it acceptable. I have seen other articles where links are listed to qualify that individual but citations were not used.

The current reference note 44: "Prior, Katherine (2000). Traditional Jewelry of India. New York: Vendome. p. 312" in the article Jewellery is erroneous. Katherine Prior was co-author of one book in 2000 (Maharajas' Jewels, published in the USA by Vendome), but it does not have a page 312. I cannot work out for sure which book is being referred to.

My Article (title: Alfred Edwin Jones [architect]) was accepted but categorized as an Orphan. I asked the meaning of this and got the following kind answer: "Orphan" means the page lacks incoming links. Your page has outgoing links (otherwise it would be labeled "Dead End"). What you need to do is find other pages which mention Jones, and link his name in those articles to his article. For example, if Jones designed building X in Dublin, make sure the Article for "Building X" has Jones' name linked. And do try the "find link" tool the template suggests to you, that might make it even easier. Hope this helps!

i work for a company named Splunk. we do not wish to use our page for marketing purposes (and don't edit it ourselves) but recently an unknown party registered a domain that includes our company name, copied content from the Splunk wikipedia page, and used it on their site. as a result, an editor triggered some automation via the 'duplication detector' and the Splunk page was suspended pending investigation.
unfortunately, we're unable to determine the identity of the party who registered the domain. what we can show via the page history is that the content in the Splunk wikipedia page existed there long before the domain in question was registered (sometime in January of this year). so obviously the site copied from wikipedia, and not the other way 'round.
my question is, how can we reverse the suspension of the page? can someone help?

Hi,
I just wanted to get a quick overview of this article by a second pair of eyes. I'm considering submitting it for GA.

Hi, I was reading the page on Humphry Davy and found it rather difficult to understand because of general syntax errors and poor paragraph structure. However, I am new to editing and I'm not sure if I should be so critical of If I should just go ahead and change things such as: in the paragraph on Education it is written: " Davy said himself ....". This should read: "Davy said" or "Davy himself said". But I realize that is pedantic yet it interfered with my reading of the article. So I'm not sure, should I just fix it or forget it? More complicated problems exist in this article. The first sentence in Early Scientific Interests: "Davies Giddy, afterwards Davies Gilbert, accidentally saw Davy in Penzance, carelessly swinging on the half-gate of Dr Borlase's house." is almost gibberish and certainly unnecessary to the article. Would it be appropriate to eliminate it? Kaeote ( talk) 12:32, 18 February 2015 (UTC)

i work for a company named Splunk. we do not wish to use our page for marketing purposes (and don't edit it ourselves) but recently an unknown party registered a domain that includes our company name, copied content from the Splunk wikipedia page, and used it on their site. as a result, an editor triggered some automation via the 'duplication detector' and the Splunk page was suspended pending investigation.
unfortunately, we're unable to determine the identity of the party who registered the domain. what we can show via the page history is that the content in the Splunk wikipedia page existed there long before the domain in question was registered (sometime in January of this year). so obviously the site copied from wikipedia, and not the other way 'round.
my question is, how can we reverse the suspension of the page? can someone help?
thanks for your time.

I have created a page for George Mason Bodge with Category: listings. The name is in the listed categories, but is filed under "G" for George and not "B" for Bodge in all of the category lists.
How can I correct the page so that he is listed by his last name in the categories?

Hi,
I just wanted to get a quick overview of this article by a second pair of eyes. I'm considering submitting it for GA. It certainly might not be the longest article, but I think it covers all the main points about the fish. Its also peppered with refs, so that shouldn't be a problem. I still need to slightly expand the lede, but that won't be too difficult. -- Biblio worm 16:11, 16 February 2015 (UTC)

Hi, I was reading the page on Humphry Davy and found it rather difficult to understand because of general syntax errors and poor paragraph structure. However, I am new to editing and I'm not sure if I should be so critical of If I should just go ahead and change things such as: in the paragraph on Education it is written: " Davy said himself ....". This should read: "Davy said" or "Davy himself said". But I realize that is pedantic yet it interfered with my reading of the article. So I'm not sure, should I just fix it or forget it? More complicated problems exist in this article. The first sentence in Early Scientific Interests: "Davies Giddy, afterwards Davies Gilbert, accidentally saw Davy in Penzance, carelessly swinging on the half-gate of Dr Borlase's house." is almost gibberish and certainly unnecessary to the article. Would it be appropriate to eliminate it? Kaeote ( talk) 12:32, 18 February 2015 (UTC)
