I have been asking for assistance in the Talk section about the current banner appearing at the head of my Valeri Larko article, but have not gotten any response. The banner requests additional verifiable citations for the article, which I have provided. The article is very well sourced, and now contains 23 footnoted citations, far more than similar articles on Wikipedia about living artists. I am a professor of Art and Art History at a college in New York, experienced in academic and encyclopedic writing and the inportance of citations, so having this banner appear above the article puzzles me. How can I have the banner removed? Thanks for any assistance. Ann1apt Ann1apt ( talk) 14:54, 30 April 2015 (UTC)

On Nigeria, it says that Muhammadu Buhari is the President-Elect, which is correct. According to sources, such as [2], [3], [4], Buhari will be sworn in on 29 May- that's when he officially becomes President. Until then, Goodluck Jonathan is still President according to sources.

Hi, I am writing a Wikipedia article on a significant female architect in Australia as an assignment for university. It is to help disseminate the histories of female architects, which is often overlook due to gender equity issues within the profession. For this exact reason information on her personal life, not her different projects, is for the most part non existent from 3rd party sources. We (myself and partners) have interviewed said architect and would like to use this information from the interview in the article. However after reading through Wikipedia NOR policy and about questionable and self-publishes sources I am curious on whether I will be able to use the information. How would I be able to make it verifiable? For example all the sources we do have, such as newspaper articles, don't have information such as her date of birth ect. She has told us her date of birth in the interview though. PythagorasJohnson ( talk) 03:05, 1 May 2015 (UTC)

Hi I have entered the query "free press", but "There were no results matching the query".

Thank you for doing the fix, KylieTastic, but at first blush that looked like the fish, broiled and plated, instead of a lesson on how to bait the hook! My problem - which I didn't explain clearly in the first round - was that I couldn't find a way to EDIT the top paragraph that contained the superscript 1 which in turn had the Missing or Empty tag. Other paragraphs in the article had the word EDIT next to the headings but not the top paragraph. Finally (yes, the word "duh" comes to mind) I noticed that above the name of the article, on the right, is an edit tab. I clicked on that and now am able to enjoy your delicious fish. I'm explaining all this in case some other newbie wants to edit a first footnote and is as stumped as I was. In any event: many, many thanks! RitaBook ( talk)
I create one article name Songs Type... in which i used genres like hip-hop,rock,jazz etc. which are main topic name and their content are different from wiki database... but when i submitted that article then its told me "Thank you for your submission, but the subject of this article already exists in Wikipedia. You can find it and improve it at 'Genres of music' instead.". but i used only main topic name not all content... so i am confused , i can't used any universal name like jazz,hip-hop in my article..?

Greetings!
I see many articles where the weight of something (or someone) is expressed only in the imperial measurement of pounds. As someone raised with the metric system I am constantly needing to lookup the conversion rates. Since most of the world uses the metric system, is it acceptable to amend those pages to include kgs perhaps in brackets immediately afterwards? For example, change something to, "It was believed to have weighed 320 pounds (145 kgs)."

Hello, In the article for Drogue parachute, I read that escape pods are actually a thing in aircraft and that there is an article about them. When I was about to edit to add the link I realised that my only motivation was "Hey, I totally have to read up on that, too" and that going just by that motivation I would have to linkify pretty much every single even remotely technical term in the article, too, such as the 'supersonic aircraft' that was mentioned just a few words later. So my questions are: 1. How many in-line links are too much? 2. Would I have been fine with the addition above? (Go ahead, check the article in question.) 3. Is there a rule of thumb for situations like these? Thank you! Andersenman ( talk) 07:31, 2 May 2015 (UTC)

Hi I have entered the query "free press", but "There were no results matching the query".
Please tell me Wikipedia policies to protect the content of its articles. There are many countries around the world with limited press freedom. The use of corrupted articles as source will corrupt the contents of wikipedia as well. Should I give any examples?
Thank you Melaniapomante ( talk) 16:11, 1 May 2015 (UTC)
When I click on the EDIT link for the References, in order to correct the Missing or Empty | title by inserting the title (which was easily found), I get a box that says References but does not have the already present references. What am I doing wrong? The page in question is /info/en/?search=San_Mateo_County_Board_of_Supervisors . Thanks. RitaBook ( talk) 18:20, 30 April 2015 (UTC)
Thank you for doing the fix, KylieTastic, but at first blush that looked like the fish, broiled and plated, instead of a lesson on how to bait the hook! My problem - which I didn't explain clearly in the first round - was that I couldn't find a way to EDIT the top paragraph that contained the superscript 1 which in turn had the Missing or Empty tag. Other paragraphs in the article had the word EDIT next to the headings but not the top paragraph. Finally (yes, the word "duh" comes to mind) I noticed that above the name of the article, on the right, is an edit tab. I clicked on that and now am able to enjoy your delicious fish. I'm explaining all this in case some other newbie wants to edit a first footnote and is as stumped as I was. In any event: many, many thanks! RitaBook ( talk)
I create one article name Songs Type... in which i used genres like hip-hop,rock,jazz etc. which are main topic name and their content are different from wiki database... but when i submitted that article then its told me "Thank you for your submission, but the subject of this article already exists in Wikipedia. You can find it and improve it at 'Genres of music' instead.". but i used only main topic name not all content... so i am confused , i can't used any universal name like jazz,hip-hop in my article..?

Hello,
I've only recently joined the community and I'm not really sure how to go about creating a good user profile. Are there certain things that must be included? Can it be as brief or detailed as possible and is it just text you write?

How should I do it? What tools should I use? IllogicMink ( talk) 08:39, 1 May 2015 (UTC)
Greetings!
I see many articles where the weight of something (or someone) is expressed only in the imperial measurement of pounds. As someone raised with the metric system I am constantly needing to lookup the conversion rates. Since most of the world uses the metric system, is it acceptable to amend those pages to include kgs perhaps in brackets immediately afterwards? For example, change something to, "It was believed to have weighed 320 pounds (145 kgs)."
Many thanx. 120.29.44.178 ( talk) 00:32, 2 May 2015 (UTC)
Hello, In the article for Drogue parachute, I read that escape pods are actually a thing in aircraft and that there is an article about them. When I was about to edit to add the link I realised that my only motivation was "Hey, I totally have to read up on that, too" and that going just by that motivation I would have to linkify pretty much every single even remotely technical term in the article, too, such as the 'supersonic aircraft' that was mentioned just a few words later. So my questions are: 1. How many in-line links are too much? 2. Would I have been fine with the addition above? (Go ahead, check the article in question.) 3. Is there a rule of thumb for situations like these? Thank you! Andersenman ( talk) 07:31, 2 May 2015 (UTC)
I have updated the draft for Florence Morse Kingsley located at: /info/en/?search=Draft:Florence_Morse_Kingsley#Professional_life
Much of her work is still available even though it was written a century ago. Not sure if it meets Wikipedia's standards. Let me know. Regards, Sfo1980 Sfo1980 ( talk) 14:46, 1 May 2015 (UTC)

Somebody has been rather impolite to me on my user talk. They are telling me to get a job when I am in fact a college student. Rubbish computer ( talk) 21:54, 2 May 2015 (UTC)
