Hi. How can I change the name of an article that I've already submitted for the review? I named it 'Dj Ventolin' in the first place, then it was rejected, I've edited it in order to be suitable for the Main Space and I wanted also to change the title into 'Ventolin (musician)', but I coulnd't find the way to do it. Can you please tell how can that be done? Thank you! Sorina Neaga ( talk) 13:29, 12 November 2015 (UTC)
Hello,
I have recently submitted an article on Lighnin Malcolm. Although he has approx. 13,000 [1] Facebook followers and has been officially "verified" by the site I am having trouble establishing his notoriety due to insufficient media coverage outside of the hill country blues community. Can anyone let me know if Facebook verification is justification for establishing notability?
Thanks for the Help

How do I add images to my wikipedia article and info box? ARuddock ( talk) 20:43, 12 November 2015 (UTC)
I created an article named Iceni Academy, however, there are two articles with the same name. My 'Iceni Academy' is the article that I can not see. The one I can see was the former Methwold school in Norfolk. My Iceni Academy article is about a primary academy which is new in Colchester, Essex. Thank you for your help.

Hi, as several of you know, I lost my password and had to create this new account. (I was told by an admin that Wikipedia had been hacked and accounts were compromised, so I think this may be what happened to me.) Anyway, I would like to get autopatrolled rights but I'm afraid that having this new account will kill my chances. White Arabian Filly ( Neigh) 22:05, 12 November 2015 (UTC)
Liz, I probably did forget the password, but after having my computer hacked 3 or 4 years ago, which destroyed my email and a lot of other things, I'm not sure. I thought I was using the correct password, multiple times, and kept getting an error message. It does seem suspicious that I started having problems at the same time as others were reporting similar issues and hacking of multiple accounts, so I think being hacked was a possibility. It was probably my error, but I'm not going to totally rule out hacking as the cause. Thanks, Cordless Larry, I'm glad to be back. I redirected the old userpage to the new one, but am having some trouble doing that with the talk pages, since a bot thought I was vandalizing.

Hi, this article was about the Sierra Leone chief of police, but when a new chief was appointed (Francis Alieu Munu) his details were added to the original article.

Dear Sirs, I wrote this page: Cypress Grove (musician). After that someone added information that wasn't verifiable, I took it down and reported the problem. At that point a header was placed on the page saying: This biographical article needs additional citations for verification. Please help by adding reliable sources. Contentious material about living persons that is unsourced or poorly sourced must be removed immediately, especially if potentially libelous or harmful.

So, what do you suggest? Adding his birth certificate, degree, etc.? Isn't there a privacy rule about this kind of information being published? His musical choices are referenced in the interviews he made and that I have added to the references. His encounter with Jeffrey Lee Pierce is referenced in the photo with the two together and the record they made together. His early bands is the sentence I had taken down because there were no references to it. The rest is all first hand information from the musician himself. So what can I do?

Hello, Teahouse colleagues. Yesterday I created Camden Crawl about a UK music festival. An IP editor has joined in helping to flesh out the article, but several of their edits were to add full listings of all performers for a given year, amounting to dozens of names each. I'm inclined to think this is not encyclopedic, and that highlights of the most significant names would suffice. However, my initial plan, to just remove any names that either had no Wikipedia article or that had only a stub article, was insufficient; the majority of the names I checked appear to be notable. I know basically nothing about the UK indie / alternative music scene myself. Would any of you happen to have ideas for how to further pare these long lists down to a handful for each year? Thanks in advance, GrammarFascist contribs talk 02:15, 13 November 2015 (UTC)
The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
I declined the draft Draft:Briana Roy, stating that it was a BLP that lacked in-line references, and so it was difficult to assess her notability in terms of notability guidelines for actors and actresses. User:Brifans posted to my talk page, saying that they didn't know how to do footnoting. The answer to that is to read WP:REFB and then referencing, but User:Brifans then proceeded to resubmit the draft twice and have it declined twice again, and the third reviewer said that 3 times in 1 day was too much. What comments do any other experienced editors have for this enthusiastic inexperienced editor and about this draft? (By the way, User:Brifans, are you a person or a fan club?

Hi there, I have read some of the help pages about disambiguation but I'm still not clear on how to do this - I want to start a new article on Helen Gibson, a New Zealand educator, but there is already a page Helen Gibson about an American woman of the same name.

Can someone tell me whether the [dead link] marker should disappear immediately, or after some delay, or is it there for good?

06:48, 14 November 2015 (UTC)Hi - I'm writing a brief author biography for Tanis Helliwell, Sandbox article is here (already been rejected once for citations issues): https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Draft:Tanis_Helliwell&redirect=no
Full disclosure: I'm being paid by Tanis to do this. I thought it made the most sense to do a basic author bio as she is a published author (first book Random House, the rest self-published). She's been selling her books since 1988, and has a not completely insignificant following, particularly in Germany.
However, I'm working mostly from a bunch of photocopied newspaper articles with no date or page number references on them. Some of the articles don't even note the publication name. There's no doubt that the newspaper and magazine articles exist, but how am I supposed to cite sources like this, for example: http://www.iitransform.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/Spiritual-Traveller-lends-WCB-a-hand-News-1990.pdf

This was redacted.

. You need to put the name of an image that has been uploaded to Wikipedia or Wikimedia Commons in that field. It's probably best to upload the image to the Commons. There are instructions on doing that at
